First Seatbelt Count Results!

Hello!

On March 25, we conducted our first seatbelt count at our school’s parking lot entrances. We began to count at 7:10 AM and ended at 7:40 AM.

Of the 1283 counted, almost 300 students were not wearing seatbelts. That's more than one-fifth of our school population!
This is lower than the Arizona state average seatbelt use rate of 82%.
Here are the details:
Belted students: 999 (77.9%)
Students not belted: 284 (22.1%)

We are determined to change this statistic! Now that our plans are finalized, we are heading to the middle school to spread more awareness about the importance of seatbelt use next Wednesday through Friday.

A car crash simulator called Rollover Randy will also be visiting our school on Wednesday. We hope that this simulation will open many students' eyes of the values of seatbelt use while in a car.

P.S. We are also extremely excited of being featured in Sonoran News on April 1st concerning our Buckle Up campaign!
