Buckle Up Challenge
The Virginia Department of Health, in partnership with the Virginia Department of Education, sponsors the Buckle Up Challenge. The Buckle Up Challenge is a service learning project that engages students and "drives home" the importance of wearing seatbelts while driving or riding in a vehicle! This annual event consists of participating schools conducting an observational survey of seat belt use among students and faculty for one week. A survey is taken at the beginning of the "challenge" and at the end of a week another survey is conducted to determine if there was an increase in the use of seatbelts. Schools with a 85% or higher will be recognized for their achievement.
