A third Choice Bus powered by Pepsi will be added to the fleet of vehicles at the Mattie C. Stewart Foundation in an effort to teach students the possible consequences of dropping out of school.

The bus looks like a very long school bus, with one side painted the traditional yellow-orange, and the other white with the windows painted blue. Inside, half of the bus looks like a classroom, and the other resembles a prison cell.

The bus experience, which takes about 20 minutes to complete, in an extension of the 26-minute documentary, Inside Out which shows prison inmates who share stories of regret over not finishing high school.

The traveling exhibit hopes to decrease the statistics surrounding high school dropouts and prison inmates—eight out of 10 dropouts end up in prison, and 75 percent of inmates are high school dropouts.

Three former University of Alabama football players will be signing autographs at a couple of Verizon stores Saturday, June 11 in an effort to raise money for the Bama Rising fund for tornado recovery.
