🎓 Congratulations to the 140 students from Lewis & Clark Elementary and Syringa Elementary who recently graduated from the D.A.R.E. program!
The ceremony was led by Officer Nielsen, marking his final D.A.R.E. graduation after 10 years of teaching the program and positively impacting hundreds of students in our community.
Students and families also enjoyed a K9 demonstration from Cpl. Anderson and his K9 partner Flip, with Officer Nielsen bravely volunteering to wear the bite suit during the demonstration!
Thank you to everyone who contributes to this program. Pocatello D.A.R.E., Inc. is entirely supported through donations and fundraisers, and without the support of our community this program would not be possible.
Pocatello D.A.R.E., Inc. provides educational programming for students throughout Pocatello. Our elementary lessons are taught to 5th-grade students in School District 25, as well as local private and charter schools, with Pocatello Police Officers engaging with approximately 800–900 students each school year.
If you are interested in supporting the program or making a contribution, we would love to connect with you!
