Students at the Omololu International School (OIS) were this term exposed to the teachings of the D.A.R.E (Drugs, Abuse, Resistance Education) programme offered by the Anguilla Royal Police Force. The programme which was executed by DARE Officers namely, Lake and Carbon gave students in grades 4 – 6 the necessary tools to STOP, THINK and ACT.
The D.A.R.E programme which is vibrantly known on the island for its creditability for molding lives and shaping futures, culminated on Thursday, 19th June 2014 with its exit graduation. The graduates received congratulatory remarks by Officer Crispin Gumbs and Officer Shawn Lake particularly for their successful participation in the program. A skit dramatization of the DARE decision making model was a highlight of the ceremony, as they used an entertaining format to bring across the serious awareness issues at hand. Ms. Raquel Graham, Class Teacher took the opportunity to share words of wisdom to fortify graduating students as they moved on to another stage of their educational journey. Awards were presented for the best report, won by Nandi Edwards, followed by second place winner Maria Villagomez and the winning essays were presented at the ceremony. The poster competition first place winner went to Nandi Edwards while Jude Purcell was awarded second place. All students are commended for their hard work and creativity expressed during the program.
