On June 2nd the annual G.R.A.D.D. (Government of Ridgefield Against Drunk Driving) Flag Raising took place in front of Town Hall. This is the 34th year of the program and we are proud to be a part of it.
G.R.A.D.D. is a cooperative effort between the police department, students, faculty, town government and citizens to attempt to ensure a safe and sober graduation period for our students. We all know that graduation from high school is a time of celebration for all students. Unfortunately, this celebration often involves alcohol and/or drugs. We work along with the other factions in our town to prevent this.
In support of the graduating class, police officers wear ribbons on their uniforms, class colors are flown on the flag poles of town buildings, and magnets are placed on the rear of the patrol vehicles. We wish the best of luck to the RHS class of 2021.
