What is D.A.R.E???- 

D.A.R.E.’s keepin’ it REAL Elementary School curriculum continues a more than thirty year commitment to providing cutting edge instruction that helps prevent drug use by developing basic, core skills needed for safe and responsible choices…skills that extend well beyond drugs to healthy and mature choices in life.

The curriculum, designed based on the Socio-Emotional Learning Theory (SEL), identifies fundamental, basic skills and developmental processes needed for healthy development including:

• Self-awareness and management
• Responsible decision making
• Understanding others
• Relationship and communication skills
• Handling responsibilities and challenges

Each year Hansen's 5th Grade Classes participate in D.A.R.E.  Once they have completed D.A.R.E. students participate in a D.A.R.E. Graduation where they show off what they have learned in the program.
