Teens in Action Advance to Semi-Finals in Driving Safety Competition

The Teens in Action Club at Bishop McNamara has made it to the Semi-Finals in their Teen Driving Safety Campaign sponsored by State Farm Insurance and now they need your help.  Between now and November 30th the teens have to put together and implement a teen driving safety campaign that involves students, families, and the community in reducing the factors that cause problems for teen drivers. 

The teens need the following help: contacting agencies and resources who will partner with them to launch the campaign, law enforcement personnel to help with displays and activities that demonstrate the hazards of inattentive teen driving, help with printing and designing brochures and publicity materials on safe teen driving, sound and media assistance in documenting every level of the teens work and editing it for the final competition, funding for speakers and activities, mentors to lead teams, and so much more.

If they succeed in the finals, they will bring back to BMHS a check for $10,000 to increase our teen driving safety programs.  For more information or to help out the teens, please contact Jim Palmer in the Development office or Rosemary Pezzuto at CampFirePatuxent@aol.com or 301-565-4360.
