Four classes at Mary Queen of Peace in Mount Pearl have graduated from the RNC’s Drug Abuse Resistance Education program.

The ten-week series of classroom lessons, led by an RNC officer to grade six students, teaches children how to live productive drug-free and violence-free lives by giving them the tools to resist peer pressure.

The program is delivered to some 3,000 students in nearly 40 schools on the Northeast Avalon, Corner Brook and Labrador.

Constable Steve Fitzgerald says he was impressed with the student presentations made yesterday.
