Enough Talk, Let's See Some Action!


Hey everyone, we had an extremely successful day today! Here is the breakdown:

5:20AM
ABC15 news came to our school this morning at 5:30AM to interview Fionna Feller and Beth Bowen (President and VP, respectively) on our Buckle Up campaign.
We are so excited to be live on TV to spread this important campaign to our community. Thank you to our All State representatives and Isaac, an ABC15 crew!

8:00AM-9:AM
We appeared on the school announcements to tell everybody to check out Rollover Randy during both lunches!



10:30-12:40PM
Three wonderful officers from Arizona's Department of Public Safety visited our school during lunch hours. They brought Rollover Randy, a car crash simulation that showed the consequences of not wearing seatbelts in a car accident. With our SADD members helping nearby, we conducted games with the beer googles- such as throwing balls into a bucket, walking in a straight line, and many more! We had speakers and microphones to blast our important message to the whole campus, and we are happy to announce that we had a great turnout and response from the students!

















Curious, we approached one of the students who were watching the Rollover Randy, and asked her what were her thoughts on the presentation. She replied that she was grateful that SADD is sponsoring DPS to come to our school and spread the Buckle Up campaign. She confessed that she had been in a car with a drunk driver and would like everyone to know the dangers of the situation. "Everybody needs to know this", she said. And that is what we are here for. We are here to help promote traffic safety, and by campaigning buckle up, we hope to save many from making destructive decisions and make the roads safer for everyone.

Another ABC15 reporter visited our school AGAIN during the Rollover Randy presentations. President Fionna Feller appeared on the news once again.


As our school's prom approaches this Saturday, we would like to wish everyone a safe and fun prom! Don't drink and drive! Go rent a limo, have fun, and be safe!

Love,
Cactus Shadows SADD!
