#HarrisMiddleSchool SRO, Officer Stephens, recently taught a lesson to some of our #HMS 7th grade students about alcohol and the effects of drinking.

Officer Stephens also brought some "drunk goggles" for the students to try on and walk around in. This helped the students see the impact that drinking can have on eyesight and how it could affect their ability to walk or drive.

Officer Stephens also gave the students a field sobriety test while they wore the "drunk goggles" to help them understand what those accused of being intoxicated might have to go through to prove their sobriety.

Thank you to Miss Blackburn for having Officer Stephens in her class to teach this lesson, and thank you to Officer Stephens for educating our students about the potential impacts of drinking alcohol.
