'Students learn in different ways. Students really like to be hands-on a lot of times. This gets them out of the building, out of their seats, and in a different experience.'
MACEDONIA, Ohio — The Nordonia Hills City Schools District is teaming up with State Farm and Ohio Sports Chiropractic and Rehab for the fifth annual safe Decisions Week, which coincides with the district’s homecoming celebrations.
"Students learn in different ways. Students really like to be hands-on a lot of times. This gets them out of the building, out of their seats, and in a different experience,” said student wellness coordinator Zach Miley. “It opens their eyes to a different experience they may not have otherwise had.
“You hear it when you’re growing up that don’t text and drive, texting and driving kills people. And some people are like ‘it’s whatever,’” said senior Jeremy Patterson. “But as soon as you’re in that moment and you see it and you get in that first ‘oh what’s going to happen’ you’re realizing that this could kill you very easily and you’re not realizing it.”
“When I was learning how to drive, I remember being so focused on learning how to drive, and as soon as I was on my own and I started getting the distractions it became so much harder to grasp what I was trying to learn,” Patterson said. “Sometimes that text message on your phone might be very important and I hope this kind of demonstrates that it’s not important and it can wait.”
