Seatbelt Check - March 30 & May 2
We conduct a survey of drivers and passengers entering the school parking lot at the beginning and at the end of the challenge.
Our first count was on March 30. We counted 301 cars. Of those cars, 142 drivers were wearing their seatbelts (47%). 87 of 134 passengers wore theirs (65%). Overall, 239 of 435 students were wearing their seatbelts (54.9%).
Our second count was on May 2. We counted 215 cars. Of those cars, 304 drivers were wearing their seatbelts (89.15%). 117 of 166 passengers wore theirs (70%). Overall, 421 of 507 students were wearing their seatbelts (83%).
We were pleased with our apparent success. We increased our students' safety 28% overall.
Posters - April 9
We made and posted 10 posters that encouraged students to use their seatbelts.
How many ways can you say "Buckle Up"? - April 11
We also made and posted 10 posters with the phase "Wear your seatbelt" written in different languages.
Green Ribbons - April 10
We tied green ribbons to student and teacher's cars. Attached to each ribbon was a friendly reminder to wear their seatbelt.˙
Speaker - April 17
A speaker from Mothers Against Drunk Driving came and spoke to students about loosing her son and the importance of sober driving.
Lunch Room Pledges - April 17, 19, 20
We encouraged students to sign a pledge that stated they would wear their seatbelts. We handed out candy, stickers, and other information.
MADD car - April 19
Mothers Against Drunk Driving is providing a crashed car to serve as a visual demonstration of the damage that can happen if you are not safe.
Student Survey - April 19
We survey the student body to see if they wear their seatbelt, if they require passengers to wear seatbelts, and if they require their parents to wear seatbelts. Students who fill out their survey and fill in their name will be entered in a raffle. Dunn Bros coffee and a tanning spa gave us free certificates to raffle to students.
Chalk Outlines - April 23
We draw body outlines on the sidewalk in front of the school to remind students of the consequences of not being safe.
Ghost Out - April 30
We are "killing" students in classes throughout the day to illustrate the effect of loosing classmates to car crashes. Students come into class wearing a "grim reaper" outfit and identify a student to "kill". The student then reads a story of how they died. They put on a shirt and cannot talk for the rest of the day.
Fatal Vision - April 26
We set up a course for studnets to follow but they were to where goggles that are designed to simulate the disoriantation of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The course was set up with dead ends and interconnected roads. Students were tasked to get from one corner to the other while "driving" their car (card-board box).
Richfield Mock Crash - April 27 and Elk River Mock Crash - May 3
We assisted in two mock crashes at area schools. We did the make up (moulaging) for the crash victims.
