Overview
Extending Learning Beyond the Presentation
The Get Home Safe Memorial Award builds on the learning that begins with our iPledge presentation, giving students an opportunity to turn awareness into action. Through personal reflection and creative expression, students reinforce what they've learned, consider how they'll make safe choices, and explore how they can positively influence the people around them.

Why It Matters
A presentation can start an important conversation. This award keeps it going.
By creating a project that reflects their own ideas and commitment to safety, students move beyond simply hearing the message. They begin thinking about how their choices can influence the people around them.
Student Spotlight
