During the second semester of school this year, Mrs. Salisbury's and Mrs. Kuelper's 5th grade classes participated in the DARE program. DARE.’s curricula, as well as its enhancement lessons, focus on bullying, internet safety, and over-the-counter prescription drug and opiates abuse. DARE is made possible for our students due to the support of the Bureau County Sheriff's Department, Officer Cliff Morse, and the the Bureau Valley South PTO. Congratulations to all of our DARE students, their teachers, and their parents. It is our hope that you will always be drug-free and violence-free role models for others.
