Drivers Ed Through the Spink County Coalition's highway grant staff are able to safe driving presentations in all Spink County schools. The presentations vary in length depending on the needs of the school. On April 11th a presentation was held in Redfield. There was quite a large group (34) so it was split up into stations. At one station there was a safe driving video shown along with discussion. At the second station the students were on teams and completed a competition safe driving quiz. The driving simulators were at the third station. The students experienced practice driving, as well as drunk and distracted driving. The fourth station was drunk goggles, staff explained the dangers of drunk driving. Then the students participated in team activities while wearing the drunk goggles, including cup stacking and an obstacle course with scooters.
September 2023 - Safe Driving Activities... In September of 2023 SADD students conducted a Seatbelt Safety Assessment for a week. On Monday before school students were outside during morning drop off, where they kept a tally of how many people were and were not wearing seatbelts. Tuesday through Thursday students held signs reminding people to wear their seatbelts. On Friday they again kept a tally and they found our numbers had improved!
4D Month December is 4D month... during four D month the focus is on raising awareness around Drunk, Drugged, Drowsy and Distracted driving. There was a display set up outside the Project Success office which had a different safe driving question each day. The students were able to submit answers and each morning the correct answer was read on the morning announcements. The student who got the correct answer (or closest to it) got a prize! We also had a resource table set up in which the students were able to try out the drunk goggles and driving simulators.
