Posted on FlashAlert: October 17th, 2022 12:40 PM
This week the Lane County Sheriff’s Office and Mohawk Valley Rural Fire Department will be hosting the Every 15 Minutes program at Mohawk High School.
Every 15 Minutes is a two-day underage drinking and driving prevention program which
challenges teens to think before drinking and operating any type of motor vehicle, riding in one after the operator has been drinking, or engaging in activities that cause them to become distracted such as cell phone usage. It also focuses on the impacts those decisions have on family, friends, and the people you leave behind when someone is killed as a result of an alcohol or distracted driving related crash.
Scheduled activities include student education and awareness, a mock crash scene, and school-wide assembly including a guest speaker.
Videographer Michael Sherman of @SpringFedMedia created the linked video during the 2019 Every 15 Minutes program hosted at Elmira High School.
