"AG EDUCATION STUDENTS CONDUCT SEAT BELT SURVEY

Five Superior seniors enrolled in Ag Education classes conducted a seat belt use survey on October 1st.  The safety activity was held at the Superior High School's west entrances.  Helping with the event were Andrew Brittenham, Ross Porter, Nick Rempe, Rebecca Genung and Justin Petsch. The project was part of the Superior FFA's National Farm Safety & Health Week activities.


The group surveyed 122 vehicles from 7:30 am to 8:20 am.  Sixty-seven drivers were wearing their seat belts or 55%.  The vehicles had 101 passengerFFA2s besides the drivers.  Fifty-one percent of the passengers choose to wear their seat belts.  One child was properly secured in a child restraint seat for 100% compliance to Nebraska laws.  The student surveyors noted that faculty and other adults entering school grounds were no better in wearing their seat belts than students!  The Superior FFA encourages community residents to study child and adult seat belt and child restraint state laws.

 

The local FFAChaFFA1pter also conducted two safety promotions at SHS recently.  Members constructed five plywood signs promoting nonuse of text messaging while driving.  The signs were placed at the SHS front entrance.  In cooperation with Superior Outdoor Power Center, the Ag Education students placed an ATV and safety mannequin in the high school cafeteria.  The 8th grade Natural Resources class constructed signs to place around the display highlighting ATV safe riding tips."
