THINKFIRST!
With vehicle accidents being the leading cause of traumatic and life altering injuries, we are THANKFUL to welcome BOTH the OSF HealthCare Illinois Neurological Institute THINKFIRST for TEENS program, and MR. TONY HOFMANN into our DE Classroom to speak on the seriousness of brain and spinal cord injury prevention!
MR. HOFMANN shares his story with students of how he went through a traumatic brain injury at 19 which resulted from a fatal vehicle accident while in high school at Normal West. MR. HOFMANN discusses what he went through in the days and years following the accident, and hopes by sharing his story to 1st time drivers, that nobody else will have to live his nightmare. |

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (M.A.D.D.)
MADD is a unique opportunity recreated in 2024. The organization focuses on helping families strengthen relationships, and support their children in making responsible decisions when driving. They offer a free virtual workshop, called"Power of Parents," designed to empower parents and caregivers to have important conversations about underage alcohol use, recognize signs of substance abuse, and provide resources to help their children make safer, smarter choices. Attached is a flyer with all the workshop details, including the date, time, and meeting link.
