EAGLE RIVER - More than eight percent of eighth graders nationwide used illicit drugs in the past year, according to a recent report from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. That statistic about triples for high school seniors.
Law enforcement across the country and right here in the Northwoods aim to lower that statistic by educating younger students.
About 60 fifth graders at Eagle River Elementary graduated from the Drug Abuse Resistance Education [D.A.R.E.] program on Wednesday.
