Hey Teens and Teachers! It’s Time for Battle of the Belt!

Now is the time for mid-Missouri high schools to contact us to learn about participation in the 2009 Battle of the Belt!

The Battle of the Belt is a competition between Missouri high schools to increase seat belt use among teens. The Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety, Missouri Emergency nurses Association and American Family Insurance sponsor the program.

During the competition, teens participate in an observational safety belt survey conducted before and after an education blitz to determine the change in seat belt use among teens. Prizes are awarded to schools for having the highest seat belt use statewide and locally. Prizes are also awarded for those schools showing the most improved seat belt use.

It’s not too late to sign up. It’s easy to do and teaches a life-saving message. A Participation Agreement Form must be completed by Oct. 2, 2009. Call us at 573-522-1061 or 1-888-275-6636 for more information. Ask for Carol Pleus.

Check out this student produced video from the competition last year.
