Battle of the Belts

Putnam County SADD began their Battle of the Belts competition with an unannounced seat belt survey on the morning of Friday, October 19. This program was developed to reduce the number of motor-vehicle-related injuries and fatalities among Missouri high school students by increasing seat belt use.
The survey results showed that only 45% of Putnam County's high school students were wearing their seat belts. Missouri's overall teenage seat belt usage is 58%.
Let's all work together to increase that number!!
