Event at BHS Assures: No Reason for Concern on Right Road Occurrence

Buffalo High School (BHS) will be the venue for the seventh annual "The Right Road" event on September 16, 2021. This educational event, organized by The Right Road program, is aimed at sophomores and juniors, and will run between 1:30 PM and 2:30 PM.

The event is designed to help students understand the consequences of choices they may face during high school. A mock crash will be staged in the student parking lot, serving as a practical demonstration of the potential dangers on the road.

The community should not be alarmed if they see first-responders at BHS or a crash scene in the afternoon. The response from police, ambulance, fire, and LifeFlight helicopter responders is part of a staged event for instruction and is not a real emergency.

The event features seven stations focusing on various topics. These include drug awareness, online and real-life safety, fire/medical/first-responder education, driving under the influence, mental health/suicide prevention, seat belt safety, and sexual consent/relationship education.

Over 90 community volunteers are expected to participate in the event, and approximately 200 students are expected to attend. The event is part of a series of initiatives focused on issues such as drug awareness, safety, mental health, and relationships.

Kate Harness, a local community member, is involved with the Right Road program. Last year, the event was organised by the Buffalo Police Department as part of the Safety and Education Event Day at BHS.

This year's event promises to be an enlightening experience for the students, providing them with valuable insights into the realities of the choices they make. The community is encouraged to support this important event and help shape the future of the city's youth.
