DECEMBER TEEN DRIVER CHALLENGE A SUCCESS
Another successful Teen Driver Challenge is in the books for the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, and this was our biggest group yet!
Twelve students from all over Walton County attended the two day course which began Friday, December 2 at Freeport High School. “The kids had a blast,” said David Talley, School Resource Deputy and organizer of the Teen Driver Challenge for WCSO. “They showed up excited each day and were ready to learn new skills that will help keep them safe in the future.”
