Teens and their parents are invited to a safe driving program called Come Home Alive.

With the goal of reducing car crashes and saving lives through education and parent awareness, the program brings together parents, students, school officials, law enforcement representatives and community members. Stressing the influence that parents have on teen drivers, Come Home Alive complements the driver education course taught in high schools.

Parents of 10th-grade students are the main focus of each two-hour meeting, but parents with students in other grades are also welcome. Come Home Alive runs 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and is offered several times:

• Oct. 20 at Bird High (includes
• Chesterfield Community High)
• Nov. 4 at Thomas Dale High
• Nov. 8 at Meadowbrook High
• Nov. 15 at Midlothian High
• Nov. 17 at Matoaca High
