Red Ribbon Week Guest Speakers - Dawn Simmons & Laurie Payne
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
As part of our upcoming Red Ribbon Week activities, we are honored to offer two powerful guest-speaker
presentations at our school. These presentations are designed to help our students reflect on making healthy
choices, understanding risks, and building resilience. However, we understand that these topics may be
emotionally intense or sensitive for some students, so we are providing an opt-out option for either or both
sessions.
Presentation Schedule:
● On October 27th, we will host Dawn Simmons, a mother who tragically lost three of her children - Lindy
(20), Christopher (17), and Kamryn (15) - in a head-on collision caused by a drunk driver on December 17,
2021. Dawn and her family now share their story publicly to raise awareness of the dangers of impaired
driving, and to encourage students to think ahead about responsible choices. Her message has touched
millions around the world through her powerful social media presence and her non-profit organization.
● On October 30th, we will host Laurie Payne. Laurie is a wife, mother, real-estate agent, two-time author,
and motivational speaker who has turned her pain into purpose. Known online as Miss Ford Tough, her
story took off online via TikTok and Facebook and has inspired people around the world. She will present a
raw, real, and powerful snippet of her journey.
Both speakers bring unique perspectives and powerful messages geared toward encouraging students to make
safe, healthy, and positive choices during this Red Ribbon Week and beyond.
We fully support giving students the choice to not participate in one or both of these presentations if you feel it is
appropriate for your child. If you would like your child to opt out of one or both presentations, please contact the
junior high school office at (501) 745-6068 before Monday, October 27th.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the school office.
Sincerely,
Brandy Alexander
Clinton Junior High School Counselor
