Why are we doing this?
We are proud to partner with Bonham ISD and Bonham ISD Police to show our students the real-life consequences of impaired driving. This powerful program teaches teens how a single choice can permanently impact themselves, their families, and our entire community.
Parents have already received internal communication from the school district. We are sharing this to ensure the public is aware and to prevent any unnecessary alarm.
We thank you for your support as we work together to keep our students safe! 🚒🚑🚓
