HANCOCK -- Four Hancock Middle School students are now $300 richer.

They came in first place in the Keweenaw Youth Advisory Committee's Safe Driving Video Contest.  The four minute video focuses on the consequences of drinking and driving.

"It was an assignment," said student Brennah Wasie.  "We could pick what we wanted to do so we decided the contest."

"We did a lot of brainstorming and we took all of our ideas and put them together," added Ellie Lucier, Hancock student.

The students say they want other teens to watch the video and understand that everyone has the opportunity to make the right decision.  When asked what they'll do with the money, the girls say they're going to use it to go shopping.
