REMINDER: Today's Open House and Community Forum starts at 11 a.m. at Abington Middle School!
Willow Hill's 5th-grade students celebrated their D.A.R.E. graduation today. Three students were selected for their essays using the D.A.R.E. Decision Making Model, and how they plan to use what they have learned to make safe and responsible choices.
One student is selected as the recipient of Daren the Lion the mascot of D.A.R.E. each year, a student is selected to be the recipient of the DAREN lion. This student is selected based on their courage and strength to make the right choice, even when that is a difficult choice.
A special thanks to our D.A.R.E. officers, LaRossa, Stahl, and Gontowski
