Jacob's D.A.R.E speech:

All the 5th graders in South Carolina participate in the D.A.R.E. (drugs) program in the public schools. The Sheriffs dept. heads up the program and at the end they have a graduation ceremony...it's a big deal out here. I was impressed! Can you believe they even played a Steven Curtis Chapman (Christian) song for the ceremony?? How awesome is that in a public school??? Anyway, all the students had to write an essay and one student from each 5th grade class gets selected to represent their class with a speech at the graduation ...and Jacob got selected from his class. He did a wonderful job!
