Sobering Prom Message

Just a week before their prom, seniors at Truman High School receive a dramatic message about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  Special Ed. Teacher Jill Saul spends months with the students choreographing the event, which ultimately brings in a large section of the community; parents, police, rescue squads, fire fighters -- even a medevac helicopter.  This year, the young thespian ,who played the part of the perpetrator, actually did some jail time.
