<p><strong>Transportation</strong> & <strong>Safety Education Outreach</strong> (DOT SEO) in conjunction with the <strong>NYC DOE</strong> use injury and fatality data to identify areas where students are at greatest risk for pedestrian, bicycle and motor vehicles crashes. Our school was identified as a priority school based on this data, and our students were presented with what may be a lifesaving opportunity for information.</p>
<p><strong>Family Life Theater</strong> addressed some of the most salient and challenging issues our youth face in and around</p>
<p>the traffic environment, and beyond and demonstrated the tools students need to counter peer pressure, bullying and distraction, emphasizing the value of critical thinking, safe decision making and solid problem-solving skills. </p>
<p>They went over <strong>traffic safety</strong> issues such as <strong>drinking and driving</strong> (as it affects both driver and passenger), speeding,</p>
<p>distraction in the traffic environment, and <strong>bullying</strong>. The performance compelled students to enter the action and interact with the performers, with positive, well-received outcomes. The students were engaged and it was a moving, thought provoking session! Many thanks to SPARK Advisor, <strong>Mr. Angel Colon</strong> and Assistant Principal, <strong>Brian Moran</strong> for coordinating this valuable presentation!
