The Richwood Avoidance Program was developed by our partners at the Richwood Police Department as a more personalized version of the DARE program. During the second half of the school year, a Richwood Detective or Officer will join our 4th, 5th and 6th graders to teach students about crime, drugs, gangs, bullying and how setting goals will help the students avoid these issues. This partnership has been formed since 2016 and we are grateful for the Richwood Police Department to guide our students in the right direction.
