(BEDFORD) - A Needmore Elementary School fifth-grader was named the winner of D.A.R.E.’s essay contest.
Students from six schools competed in the competition.
Addie Ward will receive a plaque and a pizza party for her classroom.
Lawrence County Police Department D.A.R.E. officer Gregg Taylor will present the plaque to Ward at 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
"Addie's essay was very moving as it spoke of her taking personal tragedy and using that with what she has learned in DARE to make a positive difference," Taylor says.
