I Promise Program
Dear Gary:
The Canadian Association of Principals just had their Executive and Council
meeting over the weekend.
At the meeting, it was affirmed that the Canadian Association of Principals fully supports the "I Promise Program".
The issues around drinking and
driving are of great concern to school administrators, particularly when, every
year, we have a number of our students who are killed or badly injured due to
alcohol related vehicle accidents. Sadly, many of those accidents could
have been avoided with a little caution, and preparation.
Often, this is the part where
parents can take an active role, in educating their teens of the dangers of
drinking and driving, and offering alternatives through programs such as the
"I Promise Program".
Parents and guardians are the key to mitigating the dreadful carnage that is
occurring on our highways.
The "I Promise Program"
offers some of the strategies which can accomplish what we all want; safe
proms, graduation parties, and house parties.
Congratulations on the work your group has done to date; count the Canadian
Association of Principals as one of your enthusiastic supporters.
Sincerely,
Brian McKinnon
Past-President
Canadian Association of Principals
