DARE and First Grade Testing

the DARE officer

 Today was a busy day, the DARE officer came and taught the 6th and 7th graders about avoiding drugs, and the first graders had teachers from other schools come and test their reading ability. This is also the last week of classes before testing next week. This semester seems to have flown by. The students seemed to learn a lot from the DARE officer. I learned that I never want to go to Thai prison after watching a video with them about what life in Thai prison is like. Hopefully the students will take away the same message. He had me speak for a few minutes about the DARE program to the students as I'm the only teacher at the school that has studied and graduated DARE. Thailand has taken the US DARE curriculum and adapted it a little bit and uses it in Thailand. I'm so glad to see the students here being educated about drugs and ways to say no, as drugs can be a problem in this border area.
