"Dead" Day
Every 22 minutes in North America, someone dies because
of a drunk driver. To make this statistic more real, during
one day in May, 15 students at the Parry Sound High School
were taken out of class, one at a time and brought back
as "ghosts": they could no longer speak. An assembly concluded
the day and the ghosts each told their poignant story.

School Assembly Speakers
True stories are excellent to bring the message home
about risk taking, drugs and alcohol. Every fall, a guest
speaker is brought into the schools to reach Grade 7-12
students. In the fall of 2004, Katy Hutchison told the
story of how her husband was killed by teenagers who no
longer could use their judgment due to drug & alcohol
impairment. To read more about our speaker, visit Katy
Hutchison Presents.
