Shattered Dreams

The Shattered Dreams program has been presented at Coronado in the past and throughout the state. The message conveyed has proven to be a very effective way to help young people make wise decisions regarding the mixture of "alcohol and gasoline." The planning has been an ongoing process throughout the year.  If it helps one person make good choices about driving while under the influence of alcohol, this program will have been worth all the time, energy, and expense put into it by all the volunteers
