Marion SLS encourages all Prom-goers to be safe and make good choices during Prom season. Please review the AAAProm Promise Fact Sheet and Drugs and Driving Fact Sheet attached below to educate you and your friends to stay safe.
Everyone wants prom night to be memorable. It’s a rite of passage — a celebration of the end of high school and the beginning of adulthood. Unfortunately, one bad decision can make this special night memorable in all the wrong ways.
AAA PROMise is a program offered by AAA – The Auto Club Group – to keep teens and others safe on the roadway during prom and graduation season by raising awareness of the dangers of distracted, alcohol and/or marijuana-impaired driving.
AAA PROMise asks teens to make the responsible decision never to get behind the wheel impaired, or with an impaired driver, and to make sure their friends do the same. Parents should reinforce with their teen that nothing is more important than their teens safety. If a teen needs help getting home and reaches out to their parents, AAA will be there to tow the family vehicle home, free of charge, AAA Member or not. Marion SLS suggests that each student has a back up plan with their parent/guardian in case they end up in an unsafe situation and need a safe ride home no matter what time it is. This plan can be calling home with a simple code word for your parent/guardian to come and get you home safely and without consequences .
By making the AAA PROMise, teens commit to making the right decision when it comes to the use of substances – alcohol, marijuana and other drugs – and driving, as well as distracted driving.
Stop by the MHS cafeteria in April to sign the Prom Promise banner and Prom Promise Pledge. Marion SLS wishes you a safe and fun Prom season!
