October 20 started the week of Teen Safety Week with JOG students and
Youth Safety Council getting the Northmor student body involved.
JOG students drew chalk circles on the sidewalks at school to remind students to wear their safety belts while driving. The chalk circles are called SPOTS, which means, So Put On The Seatbelt. Youth Safety Council sold SPOTS and put the students names on the spots to support wearing seat belts. Sam Neer created a big seat belt for the SPOTS to go around it. The seat belt project is on display in the cafeteria.
On October 22nd, the seniors and juniors had an assembly with Trooper Nelson, showing the video about a student from Northridge who lost her life from distracted driving on October 20th, 2013. It was a very compelling video with parents, siblings, and passengers in the car talking about the accident.
On the same day, in the morning the Grim Reapers Mitchell Whisler and Kameron Smith went around the school tagging people with accident scenarios, and announcements being made at the end of each class period of the tragic accident.
JOG students and the Youth Safety Council will have several projects during the school year to involve the student body. We want to remind students that the biggest cause of teen accidents is distracted driving.
