Cayce and Lincoln County Team Up for Prom Season Safety
As prom season draws near, parents and students alike are buzzing with excitement. But beyond the fancy dresses and sharp suits, safety is becoming the talk of the town. In a commendable effort, the Cayce Police Department and the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office are taking a proactive approach to ensure students have a fun and safe prom experience.
Prom Promise Event in Cayce
The Cayce Police Department has once again stepped up to the plate by hosting their annual ‘Prom Promise’ event. Designed to send a crucial message to students, this event took center stage recently. High school drama students from Brookland-Cayce put on a powerful dramatization that brought to light the serious consequences of impaired driving. It was not just a performance; it was a heartfelt reminder of how crucial safe choices can be, especially during such a memorable time in a young person’s life.
Each year, the ‘Prom Promise’ event aims to resonate deeply with students, letting them know that the message of safety isn’t limited to just prom night; it’s a guideline for life. The impact of impaired driving can linger longer than any prom memory, and the intention is clear: to promote awareness and instill a culture of safety among teenagers.
Lincoln County’s Driving Safety Course
Students are guided through both classroom instruction and hands-on experience in a driving simulator. This unique approach helps students learn about the challenges they might face on the road, particularly when navigating around large commercial trucks. It’s a real eye-opener for many, and the aim is to build confidence in students who may be inexperienced behind the wheel.
Students Weigh In
Junior Ryan Crite from Lincoln High underscores the importance of equipping students with the right tools before they head into potentially overwhelming scenarios. He points out that navigating the roads during prom can be quite chaotic, and preparation is key.
