| D.A.R.E. AFTER-SCHOOL FREEDOM CHOIR 2007-2008 |
Even after school is over for the day, D.A.R.E. still sends it's message through the halls of Romney
Middle School. D.A.R.E. After-School Freedom began in January of 2007. This group of high energy
students learn songs and choreography that reflect a positive message to their audience. The members
must sign commitment forms proclaiming their freedom from drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and violence. The
choir meets one time a week for two-hours after school.
In it's first year, Freedom took the stage only twice with nine members. For the 2007-2008 school year,
over 25 students auditioned, with 19 taking the stage. The group has already performed at Romney
Elementary School for the 5th Grade D.A.R.E. Graduation, and were very well received by the students
and staff of that school.
The group is under the direction of Corporal Jamie Carter, assisted by RMS teacher Telena Seal. The
directors believe that these students act as role models for other students at RMS as well as the many
elementary students that they come into contact with. It's the hope of the directors to be able to take
Freedom's message to as many people as possible to show off their excitement about leading a drug
free life.
