SHS Families,
Next week Peace Harbor Medical Center and Western Lane Fire & EMS will be hosting the Every 15 Minutes program at Siuslaw High School.
Every 15 Minutes is a two-day underage impaired driving prevention program that will be held on October 9th and 10th. The program challenges teens to think before drinking or using drugs and operating any type of motor vehicle or riding in one after the operator has been drinking or using drugs, or driving while distracted. The program also focuses on the impacts those decisions have on family, friends, and the people left behind when someone is killed as a result of an alcohol, drug or distracted driving crash.
Scheduled activities include student education and awareness, a mock crash scene, and school-wide assembly including a guest speaker. The mock crash scene will include fire, ambulance and air ambulance response, and will appear to be a real scenario. Please do not be alarmed if you happen past the school on Wednesday afternoon.
On October 11th, free training for CPR, First Aid and Stop the Bleed will be offered for anyone who feels called to learn these life saving skills.
