North Plainfield 5th Grade Students Celebrated for Completing DARE Program
Wednesday, June 19 was a day for congratulations to all the students who completed over 9 weeks of Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) training. North Plainfield’s 5th grade students were recognized for their hard work with a graduation ceremony at the Somerset School multipurpose room.
To mark this great day, Chief William Parenti delivered the keynote speech and was assisted by Mayor Mike Giordano, Jr. and Superintendent of schools Michelle Vela in handing each child their diploma. This is a great achievement, and one that law enforcement and community leaders recognize across the country. The police department is very proud of the student graduates as these students have undergone training that has tested their mental attitude and their ability to think for themselves. We wish them continued success for all that life has to offer.
