The Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) club at Roberson has entered the school into a national competition sponsored by State Farm Insurance. The drive is aimed at promoting safe driving among teenage drivers, with a primary focus on “2N2″, keeping two hands on the wheel and two eyes on the road at all times. The top 10 schools who receive the highest number of votes will receive a $100,000 grant, and 90 other schools will receive $25,000 in grants. Two grand prizes will be awarded, with schools winning a live concert with The Band Perry.
Voting opens up on Oct. 15, and will last through Oct. 24. Anyone over the age of 14 can vote, and voting can be submitted daily for Roberson. The SADD club will have booths set up daily during all lunches with computers to allow students to cast their votes. All participants will be entered into a raffle with daily prizes being drawn, and at the end of the contest, a grand prize winner will be drawn, winning a $250 cash prize, courtesy of State Farm Insurance.
Members of the SADD club will be holding events throughout the duration of the contest to raise further awareness of texting while driving and driving under the influence, such as obstacle courses outside of the cafeteria to create simulated situations to inform students of the risks that distracted driving can cause, and goggles to wear to show the effects of being intoxicated.
