Northern Indiana is tough for mileage. A church group probably contains a lot of automatic transmission drivers.
If they have a garage they should use it for the cars, especially in that severe climate.
If possible do not run the engine to warm up the car, scrape the ice and start and go to get warm up times to a minimum.
Coast down to forced stops instead of severe braking. Explain the magic of DFCO, that you can actually have the car moving and use no fuel.
Discourage speeding and recommend high tire inflation without going to any excess that would make winter driving dangerous.
They have a week between sessions to see the results. Get feedback from the drivers that see a significant improvement and explain that it is not just about saving money but also about saving the sir we breathe and the greater amount of money you have to earn to buy each gallon of fuel.
Find your enthusiastic students that actually notice a difference and see if they might even give you actual numbers on fuel saved.
Make it fun with a little competition without letting it get to serious, and then see how week one goes, before you get into to much advanced stuff that might loose their attention.
