| Subject: | Co-Sponsorship: Resolution designating April 20, 2017, as “National D.A.R.E. Day” in Pennsylvania |
| In the near future, I intend to introduce a resolution designating April 20, 2017, as “National D.A.R.E. Day” in Pennsylvania. “National D.A.R.E. Day” recognizes the contributions and accomplishments of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) curricula and programs in our local communities and honors participating students, graduates, officers, schools, and law enforcement agencies. With the help of local police officers, D.A.R.E. teaches students the skills necessary to resist peer pressure and avoid involvement in drugs, gangs and violence. As we all know too well, substance abuse and other high-risk behaviors can have a devastating impact on our local communities. Community-based programs like D.A.R.E. help students lead safe and responsible lives and reinforce positive behaviors among young people in this Commonwealth. It is for these reasons and more that I am offering this resolution and I welcome your co-sponsorship. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (717) 772-9850. |
