Sheriff Mildred Scott is excited to announce our 3rd annual D.A.R.E. –Jr. Academy this summer. Due to an increased interest in the D.A.R.E. program, Sheriff Mildred Scott decided to implement a summer program for all (children entering) 5^th and 6^th grade in Middlesex County in the 2022-2023 school year.
