For the first time since the contest’s inception, a winning team has been selected from Broome County. Congratulations to Rachael La Mantia and Jeri Smith from Windsor High School who submitted a PSA on driving distractions and was selected out of 172 entries from around the state. The team has received a monetary award of $100, a certificate from the state and was recognized by the Broome County Legislature at their June 18^th session. At this session, each student was presented with a proclamation from Broome County. Rachael and Jeri are both students of Mrs. Wardell who teaches business and computer skills at Windsor High School and who utilized this contest as a class assignment. The Broome County Traffic Safety Board would like to recognize Windsor High School for helping us promote safe driving among teen drivers. The Broome County Traffic Safety Board will also be working with area radio stations to have the winning PSAs played locally.
