Conshohocken Catholic School

D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is a highly acclaimed program that gives kids the skills they need to avoid involvement in drugs, gangs, and violence. D.A.R.E. was founded in 1983 in Los Angeles and has proven so successful that it is now being implemented in 75 percent of our nation's school districts and in more than 43 countries around the world. D.A.R.E. is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children from kindergarten through 12th grade how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives.

D.A.R.E. representatives visit CCS biannually.

Conshohocken Catholic School D.A.R.E. Program

On Friday, February 25th, 2011, certificates were awarded to students in Grades 5th & 6th at Conshohocken Catholic School for the successful completion of the D.A.R.E. program.  This program, sponsored through the Conshohocken Police Department, is designed to educate young students on good healthy choices for the future.  Deputy Edward Mesunas was the instructor.

Students prepared pledges to culminate the program and shared their healthy activity choices that make them say "YES to life and "NO" to drugs.  D.A.R.E. medals were awarded to 5th graders, Ashley Moore and Quinn Giongo, and 6th graders, Luke Kincaid and Carmen Reyes-Tobin.
Congratulations to all of our 5th & 6th grade students for a job well done.
