An event at Buffalo High School Tuesday (today) is designed to get sophomores and juniors to stay on The Right Road, by experiencing consequences from choices most kids will face during their high school years.
According to information provided by The Right Road, students will attend seven stations in the morning that focus on drug awareness; online and real life safety/predation/trafficking; fire/medical/first-responder education; driving while under the influence of drugs/alcohol/texting; mental health/suicide prevention; seat belt safety; and sexual consent/relationship education.
Kate Harness, with the local Right Road program, said BHS will be hosting the safety event on Tuesday, September 16, that will include a mock crash in the student parking lot.
She explained that, “between 1:30 and 2:30 there will be police, ambulance, fire and LifeFlight helicopter responders. This is a staged event for instruction. We don’t want the community to get unduly alarmed if they see hoards of first-responders at BHS or stumble over the crash scene itself in the afternoon.”
This is the seventh year the event has happened at BHS, and over 90 community volunteers and 200 students are expected to participate.
