Deputy Perkins, DARE officer for Crestworth Elementary, visits the school weekly to teach kids to say no to drugs, violence and peer pressure. “I want to teach kids how to make healthy choices,” she said.
The purpose of the event was to increase health awareness by providing screenings, activities, materials and information. Participants received tips on making positive health behavior changes, and self-care practices. Children and adults also received immunizations.
