An important ceremony was held before Thanksgiving at Crabapple Lane Elementary School. Seventy-one fifth graders successfully completed the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Program taught by specially trained members of the Peachtree City Police Department. Fully sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Peachtree City for over ten years, the program deals with the consequences of drug usage and how to handle peer pressure. The semester-long study is taught in each of Peachtree City’s elementary schools. Additional ceremonies were held at Huddleston and Braelinn elementary schools in late November. Students from each school class submit essays on what the program meant to them. Essay winners from each fifth grade class include (l-r) Molly Schimann, Rachael Llewellyn, Ali Griffith and Lily Roffler with school principal Doe Evans and Corporal Paul Smilley, program coordinator.
