The Charles City County Elementary School is set to reintroduce a vital program aimed at drug prevention and awareness for the upcoming 2025-26 academic year. This initiative marks the return of the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program, which has been a cornerstone in educating young students about the dangers of drug use and promoting healthy lifestyle choices.

The DARE program will provide students with essential knowledge and skills to resist peer pressure and make informed decisions regarding substance use. Local educators and community leaders are enthusiastic about the program's return, believing it will play a crucial role in fostering a safer environment for students.

With a curriculum designed to engage young minds, the program will include interactive lessons, discussions, and activities that highlight the importance of making positive choices. Parents and community members are encouraged to support these efforts, as the fight against drug abuse begins with education and awareness at an early age.
