Students from Sweet Home Central and all the competing high schools took this issue seriously and did everything possible to spread the message that no text is worth dying for. Our students did an exceptional job with their peers, teachers and parents to drive home the message about the dangers of texting and driving during this campaign with the Sabres and AT&T, said Joleen Reinholz, Principal Sweet Home Central High School. In addition to todays assembly, the Sweet Home Central Panthers hockey team had the opportunity to attend a practice session with Sabres Center Cody Hodgson.

The campaign has inspired more than 4 million pledges. Were challenging all drivers, especially teens; to take the pledge to never text and drive and make it a lifelong commitment, said Marissa Shorenstein, New York President, AT&T.

Texting while driving causes more than 200,000 car crashes on American roadways each year, according to the 1 National Safety Council . Research shows that speaking up against texting while driving works. A 2 ConnectSafely.org survey sponsored by AT&T found that: Ninety-seven percent of teens surveyed say texting while driving is dangerous but 75 percent say it is common among their friends. Adults tell kids not to text while driving, yet according to 77 percent of teens; adults do it all the time.
