POCONO SUMMIT, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Having fun at the carnival, but also learning about safety. How one local high school gets its students and area first responders together to prioritize being safe in the summer. Walking on a straight line is normally an easy task, but when you’re wearing beer goggles, it makes it a bit harder. “I couldn’t see anything at all…Like I was looking at the floor and I thought I was on the line, but I wasn’t,” said a freshman at Pocono Mountain West High School, Ronald Christian. The goggles mimic your vision while intoxicated, helping students recognize if they’re not seeing straight. You shouldn’t get behind the wheel. “I don’t know why people who drink and then decide to drive, when you could just call an Uber,” said Christian.

As we near summer, some of your parents may be encouraging you to get a job, but some may not know who is hiring or if you meet the qualifications. Stroudsburg and surrounding towns are hiring teenagers to work! If you like animals, consider applying at Pet Supply Plus, which is hiring for a Store Team member. If you are a foodie, the following restaurants are hiring:  Taco Bell and Wendy’s in East Stroudsburg; Dunkin Donuts in Delaware Water Gap; Panera has several openings.  For more information about these jobs, go to Indeed and ZipRecruiter. 

Summer break is a time that both students and teachers look forward to — No homework (or grading), no waking up early, no dress code, and no ID. Sleep until noon, every day is a free dress-down day, lounge by the pool all day– if so desired.  Just remember, there are alternatives. We are fortunate to live in an area packed with thrilling experiences and activities all year long. Summer is essentially a blank canvas, so start creating.Summer break offers a unique chance to pursue interests, gain valuable experience, prepare for your future, and most importantly–have fun. Go explore your surroundings because they have an abundance of things to do.To make the most of your time and maximize your summer experience, read this curated list of exciting ideas from pafairs.org and see which ones spark your interests.Upcoming activities for this summerFairs
