Pepperell High School and SADD mattmontgomery  at:  11/17/2006   Pepperell High School: SADD club conducts seat belt check each month Each month, the SADD club performs a seat belt check at the entrance to the school parking lot. During April's seat belt check, if every passenger in the vehicle had his or her seatbelt fastened, a member of the SADD club gave the people in the vehicle a  Chic-fil-A card that would allow the recipient to obtain a free item from the restaurant's menu. Ninety-three percent of the people in the vehicles that entered the school property during the April observation had his or her seatbelt fastened. The club's goal for the upcoming May seatbelt check is to have 100% of the passengers in the vehicles that enter the school property buckled-up. If EVERY passenger (not just the driver) has his or her seatbelt fastened in a vehicle, the driver will receive a free gift from the SADD club. Below are some photos that were taken during previous seatbelt checks: FOR MORE INFORMATION ON PEPPERELL HIGH SCHOOL, CLICK HERE TO READ OTHER GOHS NEWS ITEMS, CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE GOHS HOME PAGE, CLICK HERE         Governor's Challenge mattmontgomery  at:  11/17/2006   The Governor’s Challenge is a GOHS incentive program designed to award outstanding achievements in highway safety enforcement and education.
