On April 17 some FHN students will attend prom, which could be considered one of their most memorable high school events. The theme, ‘Frozen in Time,’ explains exactly how that night should end: memorably. It may be remembered for the wrong reasons however, for those who turn prom into a night of partying. To remind students of the dangers they may face if they choose to drink and drive on prom night the TASC group organizes the annual pre-prom assembly.

“It’s an exciting night,” junior Amanda Dejarnett said. “[The assembly] reminds kids that they need to be careful.”

It will be held on Fri., April 16 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. There will be activities, a guest speaker and a surprise.

“There’s also going to be a video Power-point,” sponsor Dawn Jones said. “Students will be able to submit photos that they want to go in it.”

Students can submit photos relating to sports, dances and other school activities. Along with the assembly, TASC will also encourage safe driving habits during the week leading up to the assembly.

“We’re doing a week long event because everyday is going to be leading up to the assembly,” sophomore Alex Savala said. “Each day will have some type of theme or statistic about teen driving. It’s going to keep safe driving on everyone’s mind.”

The intentions of the assembly and the activities during the week are to promote safe driving all of the time, not just around prom. The hope is that the students listen.

“I think for certain people it will make a difference,” junior Alex Little said. “There are kids who won’t take those things into consideration though, because they don’t believe it can happen to them.”
