Three Forks FCCLA

Our Act Out Loud Team took our project on the road this week, visiting the North Dakota State FCCLA Conference in Bismarck. Students presented an impaired driving workshop to 120 members from across North Dakota. The workshop opened with an activity asking all participants to stand then as different distracted or unsafe driving activities were mentioned audience members were asked to sit down. For instance, if the participant had not worn their seatbelt while driving or riding in a car in the last month they had to sit down. It only took five questions to have only one audience member left standing. That audience member received a Take Five bar and was deemed the safest driver in the audience.
After the introductory activity we presented project ideas and ways FCCLA chapters can work on teen driving safety in their own communities, we distributed grant opportunities and unveiled our new song related to impaired driving. Stay tuned for our music video an original song written and performed by local high school student Luke and Emmet. Audience members then participated in four games using the impaired driving goggles we purchased. The games included sobriety tests, obstacle course, bean bag toss and consequences board.
We are working on our music video this week and planning our safe driving carnival scheduled for April 29th. Stay tuned for the link to the music video.
