Teen Driving Safety Summit Oct 24, 2009


Where: Bishop McNamara High School. Forestville MD.
Time: 8:30am-4:30pm
Open to all-- $20 for lunch and materials.

We want to invite you to participate in our Teen Driving Safety Forum. As you have read in the newspapers in our region, teen driving deaths and injuries have impacted our communities at an alarming rate over the past few months.

The youth in Camp Fire USA Teens in Action are very concerned about this. On October 24,2009, the teens in partnership with the National Youth Leadership Council, the Chesapeake Safety Council, State Farm Insurance, Bishop McNamara High School, National Organization for Youth Safety, and other community, government, businesses and non profit groups, will be hosting a Second Road Skill/Roads Kill Teen Driving Safety Summit.

This summit is a component of the work the students have done over the past 2 years to heighten the awareness of the community to the issue of teen driving safety. We would like to invite students from your school to participate in our event. The summit will be held at BMHS and will allow students to earn service hours for participation in the event. Youth from across the area along with their adult mentors and advisors are being invited to explore ways that they can implement a Teen Driving Safety program in their school or community organization.

The event is purposefully being held as part of the National Teen Driving Safety Month and will follow a Service Learning Format. This will allow our students to begin to engage in activities that will help them to complete their service hours. Youth will be engaged in discussions of Teen Driving Safety issues, provided resources for addressing issues in their local schools or communities, and will in the course of the day create a service-learning project that they can launch during the 2009-11 school year.

Student and expert speakers will demonstrate methods that they have used to increase awareness the need for this issue to be addressed in our community. A variety of events are planned for the day including—a 3-hour workshop that pilots the new Alive at 25 Teen Driving Education Program sponsored by the National Safety Council.

Students at Bishop McNamara will have the opportunity to participate in this course which on the outside costs 75 dollars per person. The cost of the program will be $20.00 per participant for lunch, snacks, and materials.

The day will begin at 8:30 A.M and end at 4:30 PM. Parents are encouraged to attend and to participate.
