* B.R.A.K.E.S. is not driver’s ed. It is a non-profit that provides FREE behind-the-wheel training by professional instructors. Exercises focus on the five leading causes of crashes for new drivers: distracted driving awareness, panic braking, crash avoidance, drop-wheel/off-road recovery, and car control/skid recovery.

Through their participation, B.R.A.K.E.S. graduates are 64 percent less likely to be involved in a crash within their first three years of driving, according to an independent study conducted by the University of North Carolina Charlotte.

On Tuesday, May 19th, the Kansas Masonic Foundation awarded April Taylor, a North High Spanish teacher, an exemplary teacher award, and Noemi Gamez-Martinez, sophomore, received an exemplary student award! Congratulations to both!

A Big Congratulations is in Order!!!!
