Students will witness a mock crash on March 29 followed by a memorial/ assembly on March 30 where they will have the opportunity to hear from speakers who have lost young loved ones in alcohol-related accidents. Students who participate in the crash scenario and who represent the “Living Dead” (students who are removed from the classroom every 15 minutes on the day of the crash to represent the number of students who die in alcohol-related accidents) will also attend a Student Retreat to be held at St. John Lutheran Church from 5:30 to 9 p.m. March 29, when they will have the opportunity to participate in activities designed to help them to reflect more on the consequences of alcohol use.

All interested parents are invited to attend a special parent information session prior to the Shattered Dreams Parent-Student Workshop being held today at St. Helena’s Episcopal Church at 410 N. Main in Boerne.  Heather Allen, Boerne ISD student assistance counselor, will discuss how to talk to children about drinking and drugs and will provide information about alcohol poisoning and specific drugs that seem to be most popular in Boerne. The session will be held from 6:30 to 7 p.m.
