Dayton Students Take Part in Anti Drunk Driving Course this Week
Every 15 minutes program demonstrates the frequency of drunk driving deaths.
On Tuesday, May 24, and Wednesday, May 25, students at Jonathan Dayton
High School will take part in a two-day program Every 15 Minutes, which will expose students to the dangers and consequences of drunk driving.
The program's name is derived from a disturbing statistic: someone dies in a drunk driving-related accident every fifteen minutes. To illustrate that fact, the program pulls students taken out of class every 15 minutes. They later return, transformed into the "living dead," wearing face make-up, a coroner's tag and an "Every 15 Minutes" T-shirt.
Please note that the program will involve several emergency vehicles coming and going from the JDHS campus throughout the day on Tuesday.
