CBS 21's Stylish Statement 2009 Newscast features local high school students as our "Prom Reporters."
This week, we shot newscast segments with students from our Dauphin County Partner Schools:
-- Upper Dauphin Area High School
-- Halifax Area High School
-- Williams Valley High School
Make sure to check out the
Slide Show beneath the pitcure at the top of this page!
Shown in high schools across Central Pennsylvania leading up to Prom season, the specially-produced newscast focuses on stories that deal with alcohol-related issues and peer pressure.
Along the way, each Prom Reporter fills a different role; reporting from the scenes of roadside police DUI Checkpoints, offering safe driving tips on Prom night, and telling the stories of alcohol-related tragedies from across Central PA.
And of course, what would a CBS 21 Newscast be without
Breaking News!
"I think it brings across a statement that if you drink on prom night, it probably won't be a good outcome. Because most people get into accidents," says Allison Mione of Williams Valley High School.
Mione plays the role of a Prom Traffic Reporter in this year's Stylish Statement newscast.

*** What is CBS 21's Stylish Statement 2009?
It's part Newscast, part Movie, and part Fashion Show....!
Each year, CBS 21 News teams up with high schools across Central Pennsylvania to produce this special program aimed at preventing alcohol-related incidents during Prom season.
Students from each of our partner schools fill important roles, as Prom Reporters, in our specially-produced CBS 21 Newscast.
Along side CBS 21 News Anchors Mike Parker, Tanya Foster, Sherry Christian, Jason Bristol, Steve Knight, and Chief Meteorologist Tom Russell... The students tell stories of real alcohol-related tragedies from across Central PA, and offer helpful advice to their peers.
Students also fill roles in our Stylish Statement Movie, acting out realistic peer pressure scenarios.
In the end, the newscast and movie blend into one, as the audience learns the often frightening consequences of our teens' decisions.
The whole presentation is coupled with a real, Prom fashion show. Dozens of student models walk the runway, wearing the latest Prom gown and tuxedo fashions for 2009!
It's a great way to see what styles area formal shops are offering, while learning an important lesson in prom night survival!

-- Upper Dauphin Area High School
