involved with this past yearApril 8, 2010-Sticker Shock Campaign
BHS and BPHC with the help of BHS students launched their Sticker Shock event at Dot’s on Archibald St. in Burlington to remind adults to obey the law. Other stores that agreed to participate were Merolas, Old North End Variety on No Winooski, Simons by Battery Park, Champlain Farms on Main, Cumberland Farm on Pine, Kerry's Kwik Stop, and Champlain Farms on Shelburne Rd.
The campaign consisted of teams of young people, accompanied by an adult chaperone, placing stickers on multi-packs of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine coolers, etc.) and/or window clings at participating package stores. The stickers read, “It is illegal to provide alcohol to a person under age 21. Fines are up to $10,000 and/or up to 5 years in jail.”
BHS students participate in Project Sticker Shock during Alcohol Awareness month in April.
