FORT POLK, La. — Jacob Pierce, a 10-year-old fifth-grade student from Pitkin Elementary School, interviews Cleophus D. Graves, chief of Fort Polk Police, for a school project focused on acts of good citizenship as part of his Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) curriculum, March 26. As part of the assignment, Pierce used the “5 W’s” to document a real-life example shared by Graves, who recalled a time when his car broke down and a stranger stopped to help. Pierce’s project also explored how small acts—like helping someone in need or reporting bullying—can make a positive impact in a community. The interaction highlights the importance of mentorship, community connection, and the role of everyday examples in shaping the values of military children.
