To the editor:

The Hillsboro Police Department DARE Program would like to thank the Hillsboro Community Foundation for being selected as a grant recipient. The $500 grant will provide educational materials and supplies for the semester-long program.

DARE teaches USD 410 fifth -graders to resist peer pressure and the dangers associated with alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and violence.

I appreciate the generosity and support from Hillsboro Community Foundation. I also would like to thank those who contributed to the Hillsboro Area Impact Fund.
