Sheriff’s Office personnel instructed the fifth graders in the school-based drug awareness and prevention program that has evolved to teach students about drug awareness and prevention while guiding students in decision-making for safe and healthy living.
The 10-week lessons, offered locally to fifth graders in elementary schools, address drugs, violence, bullying, internet safety and other high-risk circumstances students typically face in their lives.
