SMARTeen Driver kicks off National Teen Safe Driver Month with Art Contest. As part of the Nevada kick-off celebration SMARTeen DRIVER founder, Sarah Lee Marks launched and funded a citywide art contest in collaboration with the Clark County School Districts’ Community-School Partnership program. “Beverly Mason was instrumental in helping get all the art and driver’s education instructors involved. Teachers Soren Anderson, Tony Kyriacou and Michael Grady really helped their young artists fulfill the concept of the theme:
“WHAT AUTO SAFETY MEANS TO ME.”
