Some of our activities include safety around Halloween, a program developing to help combat bullying within our school, self-defense classes for students, and taking an active role in being great role models.

Our club will also partake in a Mock Crash, that is put on every 2-to 3 but has not happened due to Covid restrictions. SADD is looking forward to performing a mock crash next school year. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the club was finally able to meet again after two years.
