One bad choice that forever changed a family
Our grade 7 to 12 students had the opportunity this morning to hear the important reasons for making positive and safe choices in life, especially when behind the wheel.
Greg Drew has lived through a parent’s worst nightmare, the loss of his 17-year-old son. Greg had a long career in fire services, but nothing could have prepared him for arriving at the scene of an accident, where his own son was trapped inside a car after a high speed crash. Greg wants high school students to know their decisions affect everyone around them. His unforgettable presentation highlights the importance of making safe driving choices and staying alive.
The Friends for Life speaker series uses an eye-opening, real life stories to educate high school students about the consequences of dangerous driving behaviors, including speeding, impaired driving, and distracted driving. Youth aged 16 to 19 have much higher rates of serious collisions compared to more experienced drivers. But these crashes can be avoided. Bring Friends For Life to your school and encourage students to make good decisions when they are behind the wheel or when accepting rides from friends.
