MACON – Tuesday, May 9th, Wellsville High School was presented with a silver banner for having 95% seat belt usage during the It Only Takes One Campaign. Wellsville was one of three northeast Missouri schools to receive banner honors in the competition.
It Only Takes One is a statewide campaign among high school students that stresses the importance of making good decisions while on the road. One drink, one text, one distraction could end it all. But one click (of the seatbelt) could save your life. It runs from September to March.
The Missouri teen seat belt usage rate statewide is 70%. Educating our young drivers on responsible driving habits doesn't end with the competition. Please continue to keep reminding them about the importance of wearing their seat belt every time they are in a vehicle and to NOT text and drive.
