Columbus students get $20K state aid against drunk driving

The State of Georgia has given ten $2,000 grants to Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) chapters in Columbus, to fight drunk driving.

The Governor's Office of Highway Safety gave grants to George Washington Carver High, Columbus High, Early College, Hardaway High, Jordan High, Kendrick High, Northside High, Rose Hill Center, Shaw High and Spencer High.

The OHS and SADD work together with schools across the state, focusing on highway safety issues.

In related news, Carver High held a demonstration on Wednesday about the dangers of underage drinking.

Students, driving a specially-prepared car, and using sight-impairing goggles and heavy gloves, safely learned how significantly drinking can affect driving.
