Queen of the Rosary DARE Student of the Year

Queen of the Rosary fifth grade students completed the 2016 D.A.R.E. program under the direction of Officer Dave Johnson of the Elk Grove Village Police Department. Officer Johnson, Crime Prevention Specialist, engaged the students in discussions about drug safety, peer pressure, and making choices. Students learned how to recognize bullying, including cyber bullying, and gained an understanding of the words, empathy, sympathy, and apathy.

On Tuesday, November 22, Queen of the Rosary parents attended the D.A.R.E. culmination ceremony presented by Officer Johnson. Fr. Mike Owen, Fr. Brian Simpson, Chief Schmidt, Sergeant Andrew Jensen, Sergeant Kristen Julian, and Lion Butchart were in attendance

At the ceremony, each fifth grade student was recognized individually and presented with a D.A.R.E. certificate of achievement.

Congratulations to D.A.R.E. Student of the Year Emma G., and Runner-up Molly B. Congratulations to Reese G, Joseph T., Mia P., and Kris S.., who earned Honorable Mention.

The Lions Club provided D.A.R.E. t-shirts for each of the students.
