Student participants involved in this program will be playing the roles of drivers and injured passengers. Emergency vehicles will respond to the scene of this simulated crash. You may hear and/or see various types of real emergency vehicles responding during this program. Please know that this is a carefully planned part of the EFM program and is NOT a real emergency. A planning team from the school has been working with the California Highway Patrol, the Mountain House Fire Department, and various other local agencies to coordinate the event.
On May 4, 2018, an assembly that includes a mock "funeral" will be held as an assembly to debrief the crash event from Thursday.
EFM is a two day program that challenges high school juniors and seniors to think about drinking, driving, personal safety, and the responsibility of making mature decisions when lives are involved. The students participating in the program will be creating an immersive and emotional learning experience that challenges the feelings of invincibility that many teens have. The goal is to make a lasting impact that will make their peers stop and think before they make decisions that have the potential to harm others.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Vice Principal, Athena Duran at aduran@lammersvilleusd.net, or by calling our office at 209.836.7460.
