Elementary School Honor Roll Action!
 
Click It's next project is promoting the Honor Roll for Elementary Schools in Nebraska.  Work with the ementary school in your town!  Elementary School is a great time to reinforce the safety belt habit.  Kids are accustomed to child safety seats and then booster seats, so let's capitalize on that familiarity and help them know that getting bigger just means moving to a different Safety Restraint device. 
Sunset Hills kids 
These kids at Sunset Hills Elementary in Omaha were enthusiastic
participants in the Sunset Hills Honor Roll Process.  They wore their stickers with pride and reminded Moms and Dads that one important reason to wear safety belts is to stay alive to take care of their kids!  
 
Click It is asking elementary schools to get involved and earn an Honor Roll designation for their school!
