Bath Interact Club hosted safe driver education programs prior to prom.
On Wednesday, May 10, the Bath High School Interact Club, in conjunction with the Bath Twp. Fire Department, Ohio State Highway Patrol, Allen County Sheriff’s Office, and the Lima-Allen County Safe Community Coalition conducted youth safe driver education programs at Bath High School. As students arrived at school, they were be rewarded with free ice cream coupons courtesy of McDonald’s for wearing their seat belts. Those students found to be driving without a seat belt were issued a “ticket” by their fellow students.
During the school day, an “Impaired/Distracted Driving Simulator” was used to put Bath High School students “behind the wheel” in a simulated situation to allow them to see the dangers of both impaired and distracted driving.
