Greetings!
Have you ever seen a driver who made you wonder how he or she got a license? Or an intersection that you wish would be reengineered or changed in some way because it's just not safe?
These are both good reasons to always wear a belt and encourage others to do the same.
Sometimes it's not the driver who made the error, either intentionally or unintentionally, who gets hurt. So it doesn't matter if you're a good driver--clearly, not everyone is.

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month |
|
So many things can cause brain injury, from sports, to combat, to illnesses that happen quietly, without warning or even the victim's awareness that damage is happening. It's ironic that Natasha Richardson's tragic death from a brain injury that has been in the news happened during March.
Unfortunately, car crashes are also a major player on that list. A crash may not cause death, but may change a life nonetheless.
Keep up the good work with getting the word out about safety belts! Avoiding brain injuries is just one reason for our safety campaign, but it's a good one. You're going to need that brain for something!

Click It Breaks Some Eggs at Riley Elementary in Lincoln |
|
|
Click It attended a "character" assembly at Riley Elemetary in Lincoln. The word and concept for the day was "trustworthy" which fits safety belts perfectly. The kids learned about what it means to be trustworthy, and about the concept of credibility.
Then we talked about the Honor Roll. Junior observers at Riley Elementary will be watching to see if occupants of visiting cars are wearing safety belts. Way to go, Riley!
Help your elementary school address this important part of wellness!
