🎓👏 Our 5th graders have officially completed the D.A.R.E. program!
Throughout the program, students learned important skills about making safe and responsible choices, building confidence, and standing up to peer pressure. We are so proud of their hard work, thoughtful participation, and commitment to being respectful, responsible leaders. Way to go, 5th grade! 💙🎉

🌟 Student Spotlight 🌟
Raelyn is a 5th grader at Surf City Elementary. She was nominated for showing kindness and leadership toward a younger student who was new to the school.
One morning during car drop-off, Raelyn noticed a kindergartner who was upset and unsure about walking into school. Without being asked, she offered to walk him to his classroom. Since then, she has continued to check on him, talk with him when he seems nervous, and make sure he feels included. Her support helped him settle into his new routine and feel more comfortable throughout the day.
Her actions reflect the caring environment SCE works to build. She shows responsibility and compassion, and she is a positive example for other students—especially the younger Sea Turtles.
Outside of school, Raelyn enjoys fishing and volleyball. Her favorite food is crab legs, and her favorite color is pink. She has two dogs—Koa and Ellie—and two cats, Teddy and Charlie. She also once scored the winning point in a championship basketball game.
💗 Thank you, Raelyn, for the kindness and leadership you show at Surf City Elementary.
