Recent Gorham High School graduate, Jamie Carter, won first-place in the 13th annual Arrive Alive Creative Contest sponsored by the Law Offices of Joe Bornstein. The contest asks students to come up with a creative message about the dangers of drinking and driving and/or distracted driving.
Carter was chosen as one of five first-place winners and received a new laptop computer for her essay depicting how the decisions drivers make can both positively and negatively impact their lives. The Gorham native was honored among the top 20 winners statewide at an award ceremony on June 14.
