Every 4 years, the Windsor Locks community puts on the "Shattered Dreams" presentation. This is a collaboration between the school, youth services, the fire department, police department, ambulance, funeral home, and other local medical providers, designed to show the consequences of impaired driving. This presentation has students witness a classmate be pronounced dead, another arrested, and another transported by LifeStar. Additional elements happen during the school day and during an overnight retreat. The program has been run in Windsor Locks for over 20 years.
