🚗💤 It’s Drowsy Driver Prevention Week! 💤🚗

Did you know that driving while tired can be just as dangerous as driving under the influence? Every year, thousands of crashes happen because drivers fall asleep at the wheel — and teens are especially at risk.

This week, we’re reminding all our students and families:
✅ Get 8–10 hours of sleep before driving.
✅ Recognize warning signs like yawning, drifting lanes, or heavy eyelids.
✅ If you feel tired, pull over safely or delay your trip.

A few extra minutes of rest can save a life — maybe even your own.
Let’s all do our part to Stay Awake and Arrive Alive! 🛣️✨

Brought to you by the CHS S.A.D.D. group.

A message from the CHS S.A.D.D. group:
DID YOU KNOW?
Children of parents who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don’t; yet, only a quarter of teens report having these conversations.

Red Ribbon Week (October 23-31), the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the nation, is your opportunity to get the ongoing conversation started.

Life is a puzzle. Don’t let drugs be the piece that doesn’t fit. Stay focused, stay strong, and solve your future with drug-free choices. You have the power to complete the picture.
