Shattered Dreams @ AHS
 
Today is the day for Shattered Dreams at AHS. It will be a very realistic reenactment of a car wreck with lots of first responders.
 
Truly an emotional day there.

Thanks for the reminder. Do they still exclude freshmen from watching? I used to get so emotional when mine were involved in it.

"Shattered Dreams" at Atascocita High School is a two-day program designed to educate students about the consequences of underage drinking and impaired or distracted driving. It involves a dramatized alcohol-related crash simulation with local emergency services, as well as presentations, activities, and an overnight stay. The program aims to raise awareness about the real-life impact of such actions.
** Wow, I wasn't aware of this program. If it saves just one life... it's worth it. I just wish we would have had something like that when I was growing up. Emoticon

I thought I read that Porky's Backyard was hosting on their property this year?

Wow, that's so powerful. It's a very good reminder that there are consequences to EVERY choice we make. I think they should do something like this in every HS. Thankfully this incident didn't really happen, but it still made me VERY emotional about the true, what ifs of life. I'm thankful some of my less than perfect choices didn't harm me when I was a teen. 🙏 Thank you for sharing this.Emoticon
** And yes, I saw the Grim Reaper. 😱

I'm not associated with AHS. I heard about it through a business nearby.

Many high schools participate. When mine were there, IIRC, the program was more concentrated toward Texas schools, but I don't know if it has expanded to other states. It's a worthwhile project, imo!
 
Do you recall seeing a makeshift memorial on the median directly across from Culver's?

Anyone know what eventually happened with Jagger? It was a terrible situation in every possible way. There's a whole lot more to this story...maybe West-Tex can find the lengthy discussion about it on ADC.
 
(RIP, Salma and Chloe. My heart still breaks a little all the years later. 💔)

Yes, I DO remember that. It was so sad, tragic and avoidable. I live very close by and couldn't believe the beautiful makeshift memorial. 💔🙏

brightlights : I believe he was allowed to go to school in Colorado. His probation had some kind of stipulation about him returning to spend time in jail once a month, or during the Summer months. I cannot remember exactly, but I do remember thinking that it would be costly having to come back to Texas so often for his jail time.
