Good morning everyone!

We thought it'd be a good idea to inform the parents of the students currently in the DARE program what their children are learning.

We hope to be able to put out a summary of each week's lesson so you can stay up to date yourselves. We believe this could be a great opportunity to continue the conversation outside of the class room!

This week, Deputy McFadden will discuss the introduction to the DARE program.

This afternoon, we were honored to receive a special delivery from some incredible kiddos with the Farmington 4-H Club! Hand-packaged goodie bags—complete with handwritten notes that truly made our day.

We’re beyond grateful for the thoughtfulness, kindness, and community spirit these kids shared with us. 🙌

A huge thank you to Farmington 4-H and all our local 4-H clubs for the hard work and heart you consistently put into our community. Your efforts never go unnoticed—and today, they brought smiles (and a bit of LaffyTaffy-fueled energy) to our entire team!
