The D.A.R.E. graduation ceremony, held on January 21st, recognized outstanding 6th graders Jahari Harris, Caroline Kamerer, and William Hughes II as the top D.A.R.E. students for the 2nd quarter grading period. The top students were chosen due to the time and effort they put into making these lessons personal and sharing, not only what they learned, but how they are applying it to their lives. What really set these students apart was their ability to convey the D.A.R.E. teachings into their final essay and how D.A.R.E.’s curriculum has impacted their lives. Jahari, Caroline, and William also had excellent class participation and demonstrate good character.
All students are asked to take a pledge to stay alcohol, tobacco and drug free, to live without violence and continue to spread the knowledge of D.A.R.E. with others. Officer Blanc appreciates the work that ALL students put into the essays and enjoyed reading each and every one of them. Congratulations to all 2nd Quarter students for graduating from the D.A.R.E. program!

Mrs. Deuble’s first grade class is learning how to add and subtract to forty with and without regrouping!
Students are engaged in learning a fun game with beans called “Race to 40.” You roll a dice and get that many brown beans to put in the ones place. Your partner rolls and does the same. When you get ten or more ones you trade them in for a red bean, which represents ten. The first player who gets to forty is the winner! First graders will play this game for learning subtraction regrouping as well. Players start with forty and the first to get to zero is the winner.
Feel free to try this game at home with your students. It’s so much fun!
