DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE! Starting TODAY through March 8, you can pledge not to text and drive. The Falls is competing against Sussex and Germantown to get the biggest percentage of our student population to pledge. When you pledge, you’ll get a sticker to put in your car window. If your car gets spotted with the sticker and are one of a few to be selected by police, you can get a free parking pass or reimbursement on one you already purchased. Also, all students who pledge will be entered in a raffle for a $10 gift certificate to the school store. Visit the DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE table at lunches to pledge today!
