12/27/12

Three students at Nottingham High School are sending a strong message to their classmates: Texting and driving kills people. The trio worked on a school-wide public service campaign to stop the dangerous habit that included a pledge not to text and drive, thumb bands and an appearance by the Grim Reaper, who showed up at the school’s open house.

Senior James Appleton, junior Kayla Walker and sophomore Robert Edwards chose the campaign for their DECA project. They are creating a manual on how to put together a public service campaign that will be entered in a competition.
