DERBY - High school students from Shelton, Ansonia, Oxford and Derby helped write, direct and produce three Public Service Announcements on safe teen driving that were selected to appear on the Consumer Reports’ website.
The
PSAs recently premiered at an event at Griffin Hospital as part of Safe
Kids Greater Naugatuck Valley and
Griffin Hospital’s Community Outreach Department’s Safe Teen Driving
Program. They can be seen on Griffin Hospital's YouTube channel.
The PSAs featured Ansonia resident Kayla Adamowski, Chantel Dumas,
Shyanne Garofalo, and Priya Patel of Derby, Kyle Barrett, Gianna
Carloni, Julia Carloni, and Kevin King of
Oxford, Liam Cummings, Fred Dapp, Michelle Kellett, Sean Kellett, Carly
Seamon, and Kristen Sewell of Shelton.

The local teenagers have been working on the PSAs since last summer with the help of Safe Kids Greater Naugatuck Valley and area video producer Ilene Wolf, of Finding Center Productions.
The PSA “No Big Deal” depicts two Valley teens on graduation day and how their lives are cut short due to drinking and driving and texting and driving.
“It Was Me” focuses on how much teenagers can lose by drinking and driving, texting and driving, and aggressive driving.
“More
to Life” follows what should be a monumental day for a teen who is
excited about his upcoming wrestling matches,
his girlfriend, and an opportunity to go to college, but all his dreams
are ironically cut short by what should have been a celebratory text.
This is a press release from Griffin Hospital.
