Students in the YV Tech Digital Media Program teamed up to develop several audio PSA's, three of which have been chosen by the Committee, as follows:

 

1. "School Zone Safety Tips" (School Zone Safety)

2. "Birthday Party" (Bicycle Safety in English and Spanish)

These three PSA's will be broadcast on local radio stations.
