SADD and Learn and Serve promote seat belt safety All across the county, schools have been gearing up for the annual Seatbelt Safety Challenge. This challenge is a four week time period in which schools promote seatbelt usage and compete for the best campaign, best seat belt usage, and the best seat belt usage increase. At Eastern High School, the Students Against Destructive Decisions chapter is in charge of their campaign. This year, SADD members got off to a hot start in the first week of competition hoping to embed good decisions in the students minds the week of prom. One activity the Eastern SADD chapter did before prom was the Grim Reaper. In this activity, students are randomly tagged as being “dead” throughout the day. This symbolizes that every 12 minutes, someone in the United States dies in an automobile crash. The Grim Reaper is designed to make students ponder on the consequences of not wearing a seatbelt, driving under the influence, and reckless driving. Also during prom
week, a video was shown to students which showed what can happen when they drink and drive, when they don’t wear a seatbelt, and when they ride with an impaired driver; it was a great message to send to students just three days before prom. Also to promote smart decisions before prom time, posters were hung strategically around the building. The posters illustrated good times at prom without alcohol, consequences of bad decisions after prom, and sayings which encouraged students to THINK when making their plans for prom. SADD students also put up a display of 112 pinwheels on the Eastern High School grounds to represent the 112 youth who were killed in automobile crashes last year in Ohio. Another activity the members of SADD did was the Warrior Head Scavenger Hunt. There were around 40 construction paper warrior heads hidden throughout the school. On each warrior head, there was a message that

either gave statistics and facts about seatbelt usage, or phrases inspiring students to always wear their safety belt. Students who found the warrior heads, turned them in and were given a prize. Seat belt safety and driving safety dvds were shown weekly during the challenge. Representatives from SADD also plan to attend the April school board meeting to talk about setting up a policy at Eastern which states that students caught not wearing a student will lose their driving privileges. Students will be checked on a random school day and
rewarded if they are wearing their seatbelts. The ultimate reward for wearing one’s seatbelt, however, is the continuation of life. Eastern Local Schools and their Students Against Destructive Decisions chapter really would like to get their message across. Seatbelts save lives everyday. Prolong your life by wearing your seatbelt every time you ride in a car, no matter what the distance or speed you are going. These activities were sponsored by Eastern SADD and Eastern’s Learn and Serve Safety Committee.
