INITIATIVE
Although October is known as a spooky month, we’re feeling optimistic this year that the TLLM family won’t engage in scary behavior. Safety always comes first, and there are always positive outcomes to making the decisions that help us lead the healthiest and safest life.Since October is when many schools host their homecoming dances, it is critical that we engage in behaviors that ensure the health of ourselves and others.Impaired and/or distracted driving on homecoming night is one of the most common causes of accidents. With this month’s initiative, we believe in you to make the safest decisions every day, as well as on nights like homecoming so no one’s life or safety is in jeopardy.
ACTION
With your school chapter, host a TextLess Live More week prior to home coming to teach others about digital dependence, the detrimental effects of distracted driving, and also have members sign a pledge pledging to drive distracted free.You can also promote Red Ribbon Week with your chapter at your school through activities such as signing pledges pledging to be Drug Free. At the event, spend some time discussing the benefits and positives that come from being undistracted, both behind the wheel and out in the world.
