Michigan Avenue School Holds DARE Graduation

  • Friday, April 17, 2015

Bradley County Sheriff Eric Watson spoke at Friday’s DARE graduation at Michigan Avenue School.

The sheriff met each of students who completed the 10-week program, led by DARE Instructor Deputy Mitch Roe, who said the graduates were attentive and showed great interest.  

This was the second of a large number of DARE graduations scheduled over the final weeks of the school year.  

Michigan Avenue Principal Angela Lawson praised the DARE program and the students who completed this year’s classes.  Four students received awards for having the best DARE essays.  They are Seth Sausville, Edward Couvillion, Jackson Arthur and Abby Bennett. 

The next DARE graduation is Tuesday at Charleston Elementary School.  

Sheriff Watson said, “Parents asked us to revive the DARE program in Bradley County schools and we did just that after taking office on Sept. 1.  Seeing these young folks so excited, and the large number of parents who attended our two graduations so far, makes the hard work to bring DARE back worthwhile.”
