Last Thursday night, the fifth grade students had their DARE graduation. Prior to graduation, the students all wrote essays reflecting on what they learned. The officer that led the program read each essay and picked the top three from each class. Adam’s essay took first place for his class. The big stuffed lion was his prize. After the graduation, I took him to a Harry Potter event. The kids played games, had snacks, and did crafts – all with a Harry Potter theme. Adam wore a new sweatshirt I made for him, but there were others in much more elaborate costumes.
