Good choices get good awards
A College Place Elementary School sixth grader has received an honor from the Drug Abuse and Resistance Education Program.
Alma Barrera Hernandez was selected from more than 300 DARE students in Lynnwood schools to be honored for her good choices.
“The most important thing to me is to teach these kids to respect themselves and others,” Lynnwood Police officer Alan Correa said. “So we spend a lot of time talking about treating others the way you want to be treated.”
