Winter Safe Driving Suggestions While we have enjoyed a wonderful fall, unfortunately or to some people’s delight snow is just around the corner. This can be a dangerous time for our student drivers due to their limited experience driving and even fewer opportunities behind the wheel in less than favorable conditions. Here is a brief document that can be used to have a conversation with new drivers: https://www.osha.gov/Publications/SafeDriving.pdf . Updates from the Yearbook Staff Parent ads for yearbooks are on sale now through December 23 rd . Parents can order all ads online this year through www.jostens.com/yearbookads .
