The Distracted Driving Video Challenge sponsored by AT&T and the Ohio Department of Public Safety was offered to students in Ms. J’s Movie Making class last spring.

This contest started December 1- January 31. Research showed that  Helped drive awareness of the dangers of texting while driving to about 90 percent for all audiences surveyed. It inspired more than 7 million pledges not to text and drive. They also sponsored a driving simulator and our sophomore class was able to do it and experience it before our Homecoming Dance October 8th, 2016.

The contest required high school teens to submit a creative video message discouraging smartphone use behind the wheel consistent with the It Can Wait theme. Out of all students that participated, Mckenzie Bradfield’s message about teen girls driving home from a party was one of the winners.

We as a school then had an assembly for her recognizing a good job that she did for the school and herself. and she was  awarded a wireless tablet.  Jackson-Milton’s students are winners; way to go McKenzie!
