Ponca City High School hosting free showing of “To Save a Life”

Ponca City Senior High School is hosting a free movie night at 6 p.m. Oct. 12 in the high school auditorium.

The movie “To Save a Life” (Rated PG-13) is a film that explores how saving a life could be just a matter of opening our ears to the cries of those who are hurting.

After the death of a childhood friend, a popular teen risks his own social standing by reaching out to classmates who are usually shunned. This movie deals with many issues faced by today’s teens, such as suicide, sex, teen pregnancy, divorce, drugs, cutting, hypocrisy, and religion.

Counselors and area clergy members will be available for questions and/or concerns following the movie. This movie is being presented by the Ponca City FOR (Friends of Rachel) Club and Contractor’s Safety Alliance. The FOR Club is a high school non-profit organization led by the student body to reduce bullying and prevent student suicide.

Admission is free and open to the public. Popcorn and water by donation will be provided while supplies last.
