Even advancements in vehicle safety and passenger protection cannot keep people safe from the dangers of speeding. No matter how advanced you think your driving skills may be, speeding is dangerous. Obeying posted speed limits keep drivers and passengers safe — and they aren’t suggestions. We see people speeding every day, especially young men. If you’re killed in a crash, or kill someone else, that’s it. Life is not a game — unlike a video game, there’s no second chance.” In 2020, there were 11,258 people killed in speeding-related crashes, accounting for 29% of all fatal crashes in the United States. Much like impaired driving, speeding is a selfish choice that can have deadly consequences for the driver, vehicle passenger, and pedestrians. Speeding reduces a driver’s ability to steer safely around another vehicle, a hazardous object, or an unexpected curve. Speeding also affects stopping distances: As speed increases, so do the odds of a vehicle crash. Young people and motorcyclists are especially susceptible to high speeds, and they represent the largest demographic involved in speeding-related vehicle crashes. In 2020, 27% of male drivers ages 18-44 and 16% of female drivers ages 18-44 involved in fatal crashes in 2020 were speeding. Alcohol and weather also increase the likelihood of a crash while speeding. In 2020, 37% of the drivers involved in fatal crashes were speeding and had a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher, compared to 17% of non-speeding drivers. And the chances of a vehicle crash on wet roads increases drastically when a driver is speeding.

Waverly Summer Band week is next week! All incoming 6th-12th graders are invited to attend the 9:00-10:00 band as we polish off our horns and remember how to make noise together! Anyone who is beginning a new instrument or wants to try a second instrument is invited to attend the later "beginning" group sessions - see below for instrument specifics and the schedule. All attendees must enter Waverly High School on the northwest corner through the big glass door that leads right to the band room. There will be work being done in the main hallway so entry through any other door will be impossible. If you did not pre-register, you are still welcome to come! Bring your $10 when you arrive and we'll get you set up! Friday, August 5th will be our finale concert at noon! Location: TBA!

There will be Junior High football meeting for all 7th and 8th graders interested in playing football on Sunday, August 7th at 6:00pm in the New Gym. Contact Coach Piper with questions.

This Monday...join us for a fun evening in Waverly! Community market in the park, vendor and business booths, special at local businesses, yard games at the library, and plan to grab dinner at Timeout Tavern! We can't wait to see you there!
