FPC Student Government warns of drinking and driving
On Wednesday, May 7, the Student Government Association at Flagler Palm Coast High School held a drinking and driving awareness project entitled “Every 15 minutes.”
Last week, they asked teachers to take part, and every 15 minutes, they entered a classroom with the following speech:
“Every 15 minutes someone dies as the result of an alcohol related collision. That’s 96 deaths every day, 672 every week and 35,040 deaths every year. Today, Student Government is here to show you how things can go terribly wrong when alcohol and driving are mixed.”
The SGA members followed the speech up by picking a volunteer and telling the student volunteer that they couldn’t talk during the day, unless someone asked about the sash and they explained the dangers of drinking and driving. They also asked the classroom teacher to use the desk memorial as a starting point for a safe driving discussion with the rest of their classes.
At the end of the school day, all of the student volunteers met in Pride Park for a wrap up activity when they were handed a Tombstone shaped picket sign that had a safe driving message or drinking and driving statistic. They then line the school parking lots at dismissal.
Cyleigh Barney, of the Bunnell Elementary School Future Problem Solvers, came to the high school to join the “Every 15 Minute” activities. Barney’s Future Problem Solving project, which won states and will be going to the International Conference in Iowa, was about the dangers of drinking and driving.
