Guest Speakers
Blue Earth County Sheriff’s Deputies, Coulter, Wolf, and Mohr have all been kind enough to volunteer their time to our program. For one day each session, these deputies share with your students their experiences, the law, and the consequences regarding driving impairment. This day has become an invaluable part of our curriculum. Insurance representatives from local companies also share their expertise with our classes.
