• Every student at Eureka High School had a chance to create a card detailing an incident of distracted driving that resulted in accident for themselves or someone they know. The creation of cards fostered conversation in history and English classes. These cards will be laminated then placed on a wall in our main building. Individual stories from these cards have been used in educational posters and in our PSA’s.

  • Drive 2 Stay Alive hosted a diving simulation in our school parking lot using a go-cart.   Students completed a diving course undistracted and then again with various distractions. A traffic patrol officer was on hand to administer sobriety checks for students wearing “fatal vision goggles”. Students were interviewed prior to and following driving course. Footage will be featured in our film.

  • A wrecked car was put on display next to the path that all students took to get to our homecoming rally. Project directors placed driving statistics detailing the dangers of distracted driving on the car. The car received a great deal of attention in part because it was wrecked by one of homecoming queen nominees. This same car will go on display at another school in the coming weeks.

  • In conjunction with homecoming, Eureka High School students were challenged to sign a banner as a pledge not to drink and drive or drive distracted.

  • Math classes have created graphs and posters using from driving statistics.

  • Drive 2 Stay Alive is hosting a safe driving poster contest.  All students in the graphic arts classes took part. The winners will be duplicated and placed on display in our school.
     
  • Bulletin boards on campus have featured safe-driving message since the beginning of the year.

  • The Slow for the Cone Zone car from Cal Trans was on part of a lunch time event for all students.

  • Drive 2 Stay Alive has solicited the community for funds to create t-shirts sharing our message. One local business pledged $1000 for the production of shirts. Fourteen-hundred dollars has been raised thus far. T-shirts will feature the project message.
