Students across Big Island public schools were recognized in a celebration after completing the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program.
Throughout the 2020-21 school year, School Resource Officers were able to provide 10 DARE lessons while complying with COVID-19 restrictions. Even though a majority of students were not in school, officers felt the information was still important enough to be taught.
The DARE curriculum teaches students decision-making skills for safe and healthy living.
