D.A.R.E
D.A.R.E. is an exciting 13-week program taught by Officer Colleen Handrick to help students recognize and resist the pressures that may influence them to experiment with drugs. They will also learn how violence hurts everyone.
The program is instructed in one-hour blocks, once a week. The topic of each lesson is different, but builds on the previous lesson. This program is a cooperative effort between the Rothschild Police Department and the D.C. Everest School District and Newman Catholic School at St. Marks.

This program also brings the Rothschild Police Department and the community closer together as we both have a common goal, The welfare of you and your family.
