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

 

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that "Mile for mile, teenagers are involved in three times as many fatal crashes as all other drivers."

 

Can your school use an extra $1000?

Greetings! 

 

Our apologies to anyone impacted by the issue with the Click It website.  We  apparently were not receiving any correspondence coming through the Click It website (including Come Home Safe updates and material orders!) for several weeks, but the problem has now been corrected.  We contacted every school that we knew to be participating in Come Home Safe if we were missing information. Thanks to those of you who had to report the information twice due to that situation.

If anyone ordered any materials they did not receive, we apologize and invite your reorder.  

 

 

Drumroll please!


The winners of the Come Home Safe drawing for the 2010-2011 school year are:

 Doniphan-Trumbull high school  $500
Silver Lake high school $500
David City High School $1000. 

 As you know, the Come Home Safe project invited high schools throughout Nebraska to educate their students about the importance of safety belts in cars.  Every school that completed 2 observations of safety belt use at least 30 days apart and provided some education about the importance of safety belts was entered in a drawing at the conclusion of the project. 

 



Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Come Home Safe project and for the efforts you have made toward educating Nebraska's teenagers about buckling up. 

We read stories in the newspaper about teenagers who were killed because they were involved in a crash, and weren't wearing their safety belt.  Regardless of their other many talents, whether sports, or music, or academic, they die because of that one poor choice.  Let's hope that our efforts have prevented that fate for as many teenagers as possible.   




Thank you for your participation in the Come Home Safe project.  We appreciate your partnership in making sure all of Nebraska's teens come home safe!

Email questions to us at cidri@safenebraska.org or call Cherie at 402-898-7355 or Danielle at 402-898-7353.
