Plan to Recognize April as Distracted Driving Awareness Month

Thousands die needlessly each year because people continue to use their cell phones while driving, handheld or hands-free. Join the National Safety Council this April in urging those you care about to:

• Stop using cell phones while driving
• Understand the dangers of the cognitive distraction to the brain
• Inform people who call you while driving that you'd be happy to continue the conversation once they have reached their destination
• Tell others about the dangers of cell phone distracted driving

Safe Sitter’s Safe@Home Class at YWCA Piqua

YWCA trained Safe Sitter Instructors will instruct a Safe@Home Class for students in grades 4-6 on Tuesday, April 30, from 5-6:30 pm.

“The class provides students with important safety training that will prepare them to stay home alone,” said Beth Royer-DeLong, YWCA Program Director.  “The goal of the program is to help students learn to practice safe habits, how to handle common household emergencies and how to address illness or injury,” she continued.

“This class is a spin-off of our Safe Sitter babysitting program and is geared for youth that are home for a period of time by themselves after school or at other times,” added Jenny Stewart, YWCA volunteer instructor for the program.

Class size is limited so register early.  Class fee is $15 and membership is not required.  To sign up, stop at the YWCA Piqua at 418 N. Wayne Street or call 773-6626.

Miami East High School will hold its annual Senior Awards Night on Wednesday, May 15 at 7pm in the MEHS café. All seniors and their parents are invited and encouraged to attend this event.

BEWARE OF SCHOLARSHIP SCAMS.  A good rule of thumb is “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!”  All sources for scholarship information are available at no cost.  A Service that charges a fee is only doing the same thing and finding out the same information that you can – for free.

How do our parents sign up to receive One Call Now text messages?
