So speaking of awesome children, Alison was given a “Huskies Award” for the outstanding work and determination she showed at school in her class she was awarded a certificate, a pencil, and a bunch of free meals (yum-o). That same day she graduated the D.A.R.E. program and was asked to read her D.A.R.E. essay to the entire school (1 of 5 kids). Some say the D.A.R.E. program doesn’t prevent children from doing drugs, that may be true but it does help them understand the dangers of smoking, drinking, and other harmful drugs. It is our job as parents to protect them until they are adults and if the public school system wishes to implement a program such as this in “my” child’s school, I am certainty not opposed to it. And I am damn proud of both my little girls for having the desire to finish the D.A.R.E. program. Way to go Alison on both of your accomplishments this week.
