The international Save A Life Tour was brought by Kramer Entertainment to Bishop Stang High School. The Save a Life Tour is a comprehensive high-impact safe driving awareness program that informs, educates and demonstrates the potentially deadline consequences resulting from poor choices and decisions made by the operator of a motor vehicle. Bishop Stang students experienced a fact-based lecture, impactful video, and simulations for the effects of impaired and distracted driving behavior.

“The program reinforced for me how important it is not to text and drive,” said Bishop Stang Senior and Plymouth resident Myles Goulart. “There have been times when I can hear several texts coming in while I am driving and have thought it might be important, but am reminded that I have to wait to see my messages for my safety and those around me. The program is a reminder of the scary things that are happening out on the road and the dangers.”

The timing of this presentation is important with prom, graduation and year-end celebrations happening in our community and for our students.
