It is a two day program to prevent underage drinking. When the program started every fifteen minutes somebody in the US was killed in an alcohol related accident.
The first day every fifteen minutes the sound of a carcrash would play followed by a heart montiter going beep beep beep beeeeeep. Then the grim reaper would walk into a class room and take one student out and leave a red carnation on their desk. The teacher then read and posted that student’s obituary to the rest of the class. All the students picked to “die” got their faces painted white and spent the day in the gym. The in the middle of the day a car acident was aataged in which three students driving to school were hit by a drunk driver. The entire school has to wach while paremedics try to save the lives of these students.
I was in class when one of my best friends was taken out.
That night the students picked to die stay all togehter somewhere. Their parents are told that their children have been killed. But they knew in advance that their kids would be participating in the program. The kids and parents have to write letters to eachother.
The second day we all gathered in the gym for a assembly. An empty cofin is brought in ehitl Amazing Grace plays. Then the grim reaper walks in with all the kids who “died” after that a parent read her letter to her son. Then some geust speakers got up and talked then a girl read her letter to her parents. Then they showed a video made by tewo students. In the first part it showed the entier school at lunch, in class plying sports, just acting like kids. They then had the three kids in the acident talk about what they want to do when the graduate. Then they showed footage of the accident from the day before, including two of the three stuents being rushed to the hospital CPR being [reformed on them, and then the kids being pronounced dead. It also showed the parents IDing the bodies of their children. The last part of the video had all wenty four partispants saying one at a time “Good-bye Mom, Good-bye Dad, I love you” and dissapearing.
