Lackawanna County students taking pledge to stay safe for prom night
COVINGTON TOWNSHIP, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Students at a local school are taking a pledge to stay safe on prom night. Fellerman and Ciarimboli Law presented their safe prom pledge to hundreds of students at North Pocono High School ahead of their prom on Friday.
The program is put on to explain the dangers and consequences of drinking and driving.
Students heard sobering stories of people their age who lost their lives driving under the influence or were killed by those who were under the influence.

'It's really important, especially for the high school community. I think a lot of kids don't even think when they act in this manner, so just to have like a visual representation and having two attorneys come in, it's really, really important for these kids to see what happens,' North Pocono High School Senior and SADD Club Officer Ella Jardin stated.
Fellerman and Ciarimboli attorneys do this every year to reach as many students as they can with this message.
The CDC says more than 40% of drivers who die in drinking and driving crashes are younger than 25.
