Our 5th graders graduated from the D.A.R.E. Program on Friday!

They’ve spent the semester learning about healthy choices, peer pressure, and decision-making with Officer Sam Sullivan from the Larned Police Department. Three students were chosen to read their essays at the ceremony, and Tatum Stout, Kiri Clapham, and Paizlynn Denning did an awesome job in front of their friends & families! 🦁

Congratulations to all of our 5th grade students, we are so proud of all you have learned! #larnedpride #lesfamily

Shawn keeps the name plaques coming, and they’re loved by all! #larnedpride
