Our D.A.R.E. graduation day is approaching rapidly.  We will need to order our t-shirts this week.  Shirts will cost $6.00, and come in adult sizes.  Students have been asked to let us know which size in an adult shirt they would wear. Please send $6.00 for your child's graduation shirt tomorrow so that we will be able to send our order in time to receive the shirts.  If you are able to send a little extra to help out any students who might need some assistance, it would be greatly appreciated. 

You should be receiving a D.A.R.E. graduation invitation from your child today.  As noted in an earlier blog post, the graduation will take place onWednesday, May 23 @ 9:15 a.m. in the Marshall gym.  The event should last about an hour.  We hope to see you there!
