Gorham High School graduates Breana Verrill, Bridget Rossignol, and Alexis Fotter were named winners of the 14th annual Arrive Alive Creative Contest, sponsored by the Law Offices of Joe Bornstein.
Students were asked to come up with a creative message about the dangers of drinking and driving and/or distracted driving.
Verrill, Rossignol, and Fotter won first, second, and third place respectively for their essays depicting how the decisions drivers make can negatively impact the lives of their family and friends. They were honored among the top 20 winners statewide at an award ceremony on June 13.
