 While classmates wait their turn, Coronado High senior Alex April tries out a go-cart provided by UCCS police that's being electronically instructed to respond slowly - similar to the way a driver might react when drunk behind the wheel. The interactive opportunity was part of the annual Drive Smart program (also including a mock accident), organized by the school's Student Council. Westside Pioneer photo

Bijou parent night
The general public is invited to the Bijou School for a parent night Wednesday, Nov. 10 from 6 to 8 p.m.
The agenda will include a representative from Peak Vista Community Health Center, a charity health-care nonprofit organization, explaining how to apply for Medicaid, according to Principal Kathryn Presnal.
She said such know-how would be helpful because several of her students come from homes in which they “fail to receive proper medical care.”
A dinner will be part of the parent-night activities, but reservations are necessary to Fae Bush at 328-7914.
