DARE needs your help

Dear Editor:

Hello, my name is Officer John Thornton. I'm the DARE officer at Thomasville City Schools.

The DARE program is for kindergarten through fifth grades. In the DARE program I teach the children safety, helpful and harmful uses of medicines and drugs and the importance of obeying the laws.

The fifth grade is my main class. I teach a 17-week class teaching them the harmful effects of tobacco, alcohol and marijuana to the body. My classes consist of 700 or more students and I need money to give out supplies like books, pencils, stickers, shirts and other items that I can give out to the kids. These items are not free. So I'm asking for a donation from you. Any amount that you give will be well appreciated.

Help me to help our kids.

Thank you, Officer John Thornton
