MHS junior wins car in Operation Click drawing
Mundelein High School junior Daniel Bronfeyn recently won a car in a drawing held by Operation Click, an area organization that aims to reduce teen fatalities and injuries from motor vehicle crashes. The organization encourages students to develop safe driving habits through education and positive reinforcement.
Bronfeyn, along with many other MHS students, signed a pledge to abide by guidelines set forth by Operation Click that include all aspects of safe driving. Some of those involve wearing seat belts, not texting while driving, following all the rules of the road, etc.
Students chosen by Operation Click to be part of the drawing for the car met predetermined standards that include attendance, grade-point average and any school discipline problems or driving violations. MHS English Instructor Mike Dayton serves as the adviser for Operation Click.
"The buzz surrounding it (winning the car) has made it so much easier to discuss safe driving decisions - especially the ideas of seat belt use and disengagement with phones while driving," Dayton said.
"We expect this message to continue to resonate with our students and to lead to an injury free prom."
Bronfeyn won a 2011 Honda Civic that was displayed at the main entrance to MHS for a week. It was donated by Kunes Country Auto Group of Delevan.
