DARE Graduation

Tuesday at Jessica's school they had a Graduation for the 5th graders who participated in the DARE(Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Program. This program teaches them how to stay away from drugs and alcohol. The local Sherrifs office puts these programs on in the schools and I think they do a very good job. The kids learn to be respectful to the officers and they learn that they are there to help them. The are very compassionate in what they do.
Below are a few pictures from the graduation. My camera seemed to have an issue on a few pictures. Don't know what it's problem is.
