Prom Season: Time To Make The Right Choices

It's prom season, that means for many teens in Western New York and beyond, it's time to dress up, get manis and pedis, and have a fabulous time at the prom.

As I heard one teacher say today, "Make it a night to remember, not be remembered."

That's why I talk at so many high schools this time of year. I remind teens that they're not invincible, and drinking and driving is not the responsible choice.

This year, I spoke at Mount Mercy Academy, Alden High School, Maple Grove High School, and South Park High School. Overall, I'd have to say that the students and staffers were receptive to the message.

New this year, all the teens who heard CAID's message received bright blue wristbands with the CAID name logo, and the message - "Choose responsibly, don't drink and drive".

Here's hoping that the students remember the message on prom night, graduation night, and for years to come.

Here are a few photos taken at South Park earlier today.








Until next time...
