Two student groups from Patricia Carpenter's Street Law classes were recently selected as winners of the Teen Traffic Safety video contest conducted by the Broome County Health Department. Elyssa Savichky, Fadwa Lamghari, and Kaylyn Cherry created a short video about drowsy driving. Emma Kot, Antonia Monico, and Kamilia Benkada put together a video highlighting the importance of seat belts.
Today, Broome County Health Department Traffic Safety Coordinator Christine Marion and Mark Anderson - State Farm Insurance Agent presented awards/gift cards to the students.
In addition, the Street Law students had the opportunity to try different tasks using goggles that visually simulated being drunk or under the influence of marijuana.
You can watch the winning video shorts on the
