Objective:
We want to remind everyone to drive safely.
Target Audience:
Everyone
Execution:
We have painted a crosswalk to our new fitness center and have added guardrails to a road that has had multiple accidents. We have also made posters to spread awareness of the new safe passing law that was put in place.
Teamwork:
Everyone volunteered to complete different tasks so we could complete them by the deadline.
Use of resources:
We spoke with the town to implement the guardrails, discussed the price points of added a crosswalk with our administration. We also scheduled a program for the senior class with the NJ state police.
Use of media:
We made a safe teen driving video that was shared with the student body and teachers.
Thoroughness:
We had a guardrail put in place on a road where multiple accidents had occurred involving teen drivers.
Impact:
The seniors will be questioned after their program with the NJ state police. Their answers will be used to improve our campaign next year.
Sustainability:
By spreading awareness of the new safe passing law and adding a guardrail will protect for generations.
Unexpected Lessons Learned:
We were grateful for the community being so willing to help.
