Indian Lake Schools SRO Logan Miller is daring young people to make positive decisions and live drug-free.
D.A.R.E. — or Drug Abuse Resistance Education —classes began during Red Ribbon Week for all fourth-graders at Indian Lake Elementary School.
“It’s not all about just saying no to drugs. This is about making responsible choices in your life,” Officer Miller told the students.
During this week’s class, students got to look through their special workbooks and practice making good decisions using the DARE Decision Making Model. The model incorporates identifying problems, evaluating choices and responding to the choices made.
SRO Miller will lead DARE for 10 sessions every other week for the rest of the school year. Together, they will tackle topics like tobacco, drug and alcohol use, stress, peer pressure, bullying and more.
There will also be a DARE Box placed in the fourth-grade pod where students can submit questions anonymously that they’d like SRO Miller to answer.
Earlier this fall, Officer Miller completed a two week training to receive his DARE teaching certification through the Washington Township Police Department.
