LASTING IMPACT:
Next Wednesday, May 29th at 8:30 am, the MN State Patrol will be coming to do a presentation for our 7-11th grade students. The program is called “Lasting Impact” and it’s a video they show to educate young driver’s on the importance of staying safe behind the wheel. The program will take anywhere from 45-60 minutes.
The Minnesota State Patrol created "Lasting Impact," which is a video about a teen driver who made a fatal mistake. In December 2015, four friends decided to go for a joyride on a steep gravel road near Pine Island. All three passengers were unbuckled when the driver lost control of her vehicle at a high rate of speed. Eighteen-year-old Logan Maas, a Triton High School senior, was killed when he was ejected from the vehicle.
Logan’s death had a huge impact not only on his family but on the entire community. "Lasting Impact"includes interviews with the Maas family, the driver and school officials, and shows how one life lost can change a community forever.
Our goal is to educate drivers, promote good decision-making, and raise awareness of the important responsibility that comes with driving. The video presents real-life situations to help drivers understand the consequences of poor decisions behind the wheel.
