Eastern Elementary Fifth Grade Students recently graduated from the DARE Program. I would like to thank Pike County Sheriff Tracey Evans for his on going commitment to provide this program and a DARE Educator to our school each year. DARE is an school based program that has been in school for more than 40 years. D.A.R.E. provides students with the skills necessary to recognize and resist pressures to experiment with drugs and to avoid gangs and violence. Lessons emphasize self-esteem, decision making, interpersonal communications skills, the consequences of drug abuse, conflict resolution and positive alternatives to substance abuse.




After completing a seed germination project earlier this fall, Mrs. Campbell's vocational agriculture students completed some farm-to-fork activities by making pumpkin pie and apple cider!
