It's Comin' Up . . . it's D.A.R.E.

Wilmore Elementary had their D.A.R.E. graduation party last night. D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Awareness Resistance Education. It's a pretty big deal up here in Kentucky and we were proud to attend the ceremony for Anna.We got seats up front.We did our best to embarrass Anna.

The Jessamine County prosecutor spoke and ... she was ... interesting. She took the kids through the case of one young man who "got in the system" and wound up getting in worse and worse trouble. At one point she sounded like she was giving the kids some really bad advice. She said, "This young man began getting arrested for marijuana and then he started dealing it and, well, when you start dealing drugs you need a gun of course."

So, at least the kids know what they need to get into the business.

Cindy found this sign in the Wilmore gymnasium. Few things are more important than teaching kids how to be manipulative! At least I learned something. I never thought of manipulating people by dribbling.
Here's a nice picture of Cora. It was a fun event, full of interesting cultural experiences like an opening prayer in the name of Jesus--not something you hear much of at public schools.
