Juniors and Seniors, do you have your safe driving thumb band yet? Texting while driving increases the risk of accidents by 23.2 times so why don’t you promise yourself and others to stop. Today is the last day to come by the FCCLA table during lunch and sign the “9News Great Hang Up” pledge to not text and drive. You can also pick up a piece of candy and a thumb band to help you remember to follow through on your promise! See you there!
