Teens are the least likely group to be wearing belts, but the most likely group to experience a crash.

 

Safety Belts reduce fatalities and injuries by 45 to 50% in crashes.  Join us in encouraging Nebraska teens to buckle up, every trip, every time.

 

Can your school use an extra $1000?

Greetings! 

 

Have you turned in your Come Home Safe numbers yet?  April 15 is the last day for completing your observations and we're anxious to see final numbers from all of our participants.

Highway fatalities are way down for 2011--let's not have any more teenage highway fatalities caused by the lack of a safety belt!

 

 

David City Vince with kidsDavid City went all out for Come Home Safe.  They wrote:   

"The National Honor Society participated in the Come Home Safe Program of the Click It--Don't Risk It campaign this school year. In October 5 we conducted our first david city dum dums on windshieldobservation with 51% wearing seatbelts. Listed below are the things we did during the year to increase seatbelt usage:

 

  • Put up several bulletin boards
  • Handed out the seatbelt air fresheners to several classes at the end of the day
  • Put a flyer with a dum dums attached to david city them saying "Don't be a Dum Dum, Wear Your Seatbelt" on windshields of cars around the school
  • Stationed members at the doors as students arrived at school and passed out papers with lifesavers on them saying "Wear Your Lifesaver,"
  • Put messages on all of the teachers markerboards.
  • Used the Vince and Larry costumes to give middle and high school students stickers during their lunch periods. Vince & Larry also visited several elementary classrooms.
  • Put several announcements on the PA system
  • Wrote an article for our web page promoting the program
  • The school newspaper wrote an article for the school newspaper and town paper about the program 

When David City I survivedwe were studying design elements and graphics in...information technology classes, one of the projects they could choose to do was design a flyer promoting seatbelt usage. We posted those around the building & on the bulletin board."
