Prom Safety Week Highlights Dangers Of Drunken Driving
East Rockingham High School marked Prom Safety Week with a dramatic crash demo staged by FFA and SkillsUSA DECA students. Two mangled cars framed the scene as Bryanna Deans and Jeff Bailey lay in prom attire with face paint while Ashton Hoy played a drunk driving prom queen. Virginia State Police trooper Robert Lawson led the exercise to raise awareness beyond prom night. Local talks by VSP, Rockingham Fire, Rockingham Sheriff, and Kate's Krew complemented the event, founded after a local crash claimed a teen life.
