Street Smart Assembly: Intense!

Filed under: Archive,Community News,Parents,School Board,Staff,Students — Mr. Beckeman @ 1:53 pm

This Wednesday, 2 paramedics from Orlando, Florida spoke with Junior and Seniors about what it means to be Street Smart when it comes to using substances and driving motor vehicles.  Their presentation included pictures and a demonstration of the techniques used to immobilize an injured person after a car crash.  Senior Julius Palmer volunteered to help with the demonstration and said, “It was somethin’ else…it made me realize it’s a lot worse than what people think.  They can’t give you pain killers because of your injuries, and they have to use their tools and do surgery without medication.”  Several other students said it was an “intense experience” that made them stop and think. 

We want to encourage all students to be street smart, espcecially around the Prom and graduation season.
