Smart Move,
Graduates! Your diploma opens the door to opportunity and success, and we are very proud of your achievement today. As you celebrate this milestone, please be smart about your safety and the safety of others. Drinking and driving can take away all of your future dreams in an instant. Never get in the car with a driver who has been drinking, and make sure the friends you love stay safe and sober behind the wheel.
