I feel that we reached some of them and made them think Keeping students alive is group's number one priority Vicki Anson SADD nixes drunk driving Kim Piercy tudents didn't think a drunk driving accident could happen to them, but it really could. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, somebody died every 27 minutes. Drinking and driving was a big issue in the United States. LHS wanted to be involved with the fight. During homecoming SADD sent letters and contracts home to parents of the LHS students warning them about the dangers of driving and drinking. SADD President Vicki Anson said, I was really pleased with the cooperation we got from the students. We reached some of them and made them think. Earlier in the year, Advisor Kevin Carney said, The SADD program is not showing much progress in our school because people aren't interested. lt's not cool to be against drunk driving. They feel that it's not going to happen to them. SADD advocates, 'If you're going to drink, don't drivef SADD realizes people drinkf' ln February, the death of a Mountain View High School graduate made some students do a double take. Senior Patrica Atkinson was one of the main promoters of the Reader's Digest SADD campaign. She said, 'fThe main reason that I helped with the program was because of the scholarship money. Reader's Digest awarded the school S4000 for the work they put in raising awareness about the SADD organization. SADD also made S300 through their fundraisers which included the fourteen days of dryness campaign in March. During these days the chapter put'up inspirational words from popular songs to make the students reflect on the importance of life. They also put up posters that made the students do some introspection before they went out to drink. The poster that had the most impact on me was the one that said 'lf you are going to drink and drive tonight don't forget to kiss your mother goodbyj said Junior Lisa Brunow. On the last two days of the push, the chapter had a rock-a- thon where any student could go around and get pledges from people in the community. Then midnight April 4 to 8 p.m. the next day students rocked in rocking chairs on Main Street. For another activity SADD auctioned off cream filled pie tins and the highest bidder was allowed to hit his victim with it. A public service announcement called Date with Mom was played by local radio stations, humorously pointing out that the drunk high school student could lose his driver's license. That made a bigger impact on some students than the loss of life threat. The chapter also showed a video of a couple who were about to have a new baby that was hit by a car full of drunk teenagers. The father and unborn baby were saved but the mother died. SADD members.
