Your math teacher is just about to assign the homework when a somber bell tolls. The grim reaper enters the classroom and pulls a student out of the classroom. The student returns minutes later with a plaster white face accompanied by a black tear emerging from the eye. The student remains silent and carries a sign announcing their time of death. The student is now dead, all because of their decision to drive drunk.

With prom season in full-swing, the risk of death from drunk driving is higher than ever. Over the course of school day, sixteen people die in an accident caused by drunk driving. Student Government hopes the day of the dead will help expose the deadly effects of drunk driving and help to prevent it on nights such as prom.
