Every 15 Minutes is a national program designed to help high school juniors and seniors realize the unnecessary tragedies that can result from unsafe decisions made when driving.

 The program is named after the statistic when it began in the 1990’s, that someone in the United States died every 15 minutes from an alcohol-related accident. The statistic is now almost every 40 minutes, so it does reach a significant number of teenage drivers.

 This two-day program will be at Sherwood HS April 26th and April 27th.  All Juniors and Seniors may apply to be one of approximately forty “living dead” students, which means they will either be pulled out of class, one every 15 minutes, by the Grim Reaper throughout the school day, or they can take the role of a victim or the drunk driver in a staged car accident, with actual emergency and police vehicles responding.

 These students will have make-up applied to appear dead and then return to class for the remainder of the day.  After school, they will go to Barber’s Funeral Home and then an overnight retreat to listen to speakers and write a letter to their family about how their participation has affected them.

 Students who want to participate must submit the Parent/Guardian Permission Form and the Student Application Form NO LATER THAN MARCH 5.

March 2010
Students GAIN NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE and SKILLS.

Spring Break at the end of this month is a good time to get involved in service.  Consider all opportunities to learn about real need and yourself as well as earn SSL hours toward the state graduation requirement.

  • Students who have met the graduation requirement of 75 hours by the first Friday in April of a middle school year will be awarded the Superintendent’s SSL Award.  This year, due to the spring break, documentation of service is due to the SSL coordinator by the 2nd Friday in April (4-9-10).
  • Seniors who have documented 260 or more SSL hours by the first Friday in April will be awarded a Certificate of Meritorious Service. This year due to the spring break documentation for this award is due to the SSL coordinator by the 2nd Friday in April.
  • When you think about service for which SSL hours are awarded think:  nonprofit, tax exempt, organization, public place, secular in nature, adult supervision (not a parent), meeting a real need !
