JP ll Students Deliver Safety Message
 
Two students from John Paul ll Catholic Secondary School are the winners of  a Public Service Announcement contest aimed at getting teens to and from their proms safely.
 
The idea was for youth in the three county area (including Middlesex-London, Oxford and Elgin) to send in their 30-60 second PSA (public service announcement) promoting one or more of SafeGrad’s “safer party” messages:
 
  • Making sure you have a safe and sober way home from a party
  • Understanding the laws and liability for hosting a party
  • Creating healthy relationships
  • Understanding the negative consequences of drug & alcohol misuse
  • Choosing to be sober and in control
 
The winning PSA video was submitted by Alex Piorkowski and Nic Ficca from John Paul ll .  They have won a $500 Apple Prize Pack.
 
They were  introduced at a news conference and congratulated at the Monday meeting of the Board of Trustees. 
 
Safe Grad is a community partnership whose mission is to equip high school students with information, skills, peer support and community support to plan safer celebrations throughout the year.
