Today our Guidance Department organized a very powerful assembly on the dangers of driving while texting or under the influence. The presentation was conducted by the District Attorney's Community Safety and Outreach department. It included a video on the effects of distracted driving and personal testimonies from a father who lost his daughter to drunk driving and a prison inmate who is currently serving time for drunk driving. You could hear a pin drop in the auditorium this afternoon and we were satisfied to hear students saying, "I will never text and drive or drink and drive." As the father of the victim of drunk driving shared with me afterward, "If this presentation saves just one life by causing a teenager to think twice, it is worth it." Please ask your student about the presentation and hopefully it will reinforce the importance of driver safety.
