2020-2021 Get It Together High School Seat Belt Challenge
Get It Together High School Seat Belt Challenge is a program led by Drive Safe Hampton Roads and supported by other traffic safety groups. Local high schools compete to raise students’ awareness of the importance of wearing seat belts every time they ride in a vehicle.
As you are already aware, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed our world and how we interact. It is now vital to limit social contact and avoid gathering. For that reason, Drive Safe Hampton Roads made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020-2021 Get It Together High School Seat Belt Challenge. While we know this is disappointing, we hope you understand this decision is to keep everyone safe and help flatten the coronavirus curve. We are still as dedicated as ever to teen driver seat belt use, but your safety and the safety of the students comes first.
Below are resources that you, your school instructors, and those teaching at-home can access. You can also get materials and resources from our facebook page: GetItTogetherSeatBeltChallenge.
We look forward to hosting the Get It Together Challenge in the future, once the global health pandemic passes. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch via email at dshr@drivesafehr.org.
Thank you for your understanding during these difficult times. We’d like to thank each and every one of you for supporting the Get It Together Challenge these past 23 years. Together, we have positively influenced the traffic safety habits of over 800,000 students.
Stay safe, and please contact us if you have any concerns, suggestions, or questions.
