Summary of Safe Teen Driving Week

Safe teen driving is important in a major metropolitan city like Las Vegas, so we decided to promote the cause through a local school! We’re throwing a Keep the Drive Week at Valley High School, which is one of the largest schools in the city.

The school will be decorated head to toe with street signs, roads, and cars! We will have an action packed spirit week with lunchtime activities and dress up days. Throughout the week, we will also be having giveaways- including the Keep the Drive street ribbon, which we will bring to life!
On Monday, there will be an after school bash where we’ll chalk the parking lot and announce facts. Tuesday, there will be a pep-rally where we will hear from our State Assemblyman, Harvey Munford, and our SBO officers, who will inform students on safe driving. We’ll have an exciting obstacle course which will test the students’ new knowledge while pumping up the crowd!

On Wednesday, there will be a ‘safe driving play’ performed by our award winning theater students, and our annual car show will be on Thursday. Friday, we’ll have an assembly where we’ll hear the tragic story from a Las Vegas alumnus about her car crash that resulted in closed campuses for all Vegas schools. After school on Friday, there will be a barbeque for the students who participated in any of the week’s events or dressed up in red, green, and yellow, the Keep the Drive Week spirit colors!
