Georgia D.A.R.E. Officer's at State Capitol for Georiga D.A.R.E. Day Proclamation
The Georgia D.A.R.E. Officer's Association is proud to announce that Governor Sonny Perdue signed a proclamation, proclaiming April 10, 2008 as D.A.R.E. Day in Georgia and he called upon the good citizens of Georgia to observe this day with appropriate activities.
The Drug Abuse Resistant Education (D.A.R.E.) Program teaches young people ways to resist peer pressure, drugs, alcohol, and joining gangs. D.A.R.E. reaches young people when they are most vulnerable to peer pressure and teaches the skills necessary to make positive decisions and avoid negative behaviors; and
D.A.R.E. is taught in more than seventy-five percent of our nation's school districts and more than forty-three countries around the world. Thousands of Elementary and Middle school students are positively impacted by D.A.R.E. in Georgia classrooms each year; and
The D.A.R.E. curriculum helps students recognize and successfully evaluate risk-taking behaviors, resist gang pressure, apply effective decision-making skills, and evaluate the consequences of the choices available to them; and
The D.A.R.E. program has achieved outstanding success teaching positive and effective approaches to some of the most difficult problems facing our young people today - substance abuse, violence, and gangs; and
On Georgia D.A.R.E. Day, we honor the officers who help Georgia's youth become productive citizens by avoiding the dangers of substance abuse and violence.
