This week we hosted a Seat Belt Check at Perry High School and Central Catholic High School. We checked 587 seat belts and of those checked 577 were properly secured! We also hosted a Distracted Driving Event for students to participate and learn the importance of not driving distracted!
We want to thank Stark County Safe Communities, Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital, Stark County Sheriff's Office and Ohio State Highway Patrol for assisting us in raising awareness to the Perry Community about the importance of wearing safety belts and safe driving.
Stark County Safe Communities, Perry High School and Central Catholic High School provided prizes for a drawing. Those who had their seat belt on could enter. Congrats to those winners!
Thank you Stark County Safe Communities for helping us conduct seat belt checks at Central Catholic High School this week! We stopped drivers as they entered the parking lot to see if they were wearing their seat belt. If they were, students received a Smarties candy for being so "smart". We are proud to say that every student checked was wearing a seatbelt. Students could also enter to win a gas card as a reward. Congratulations to all our seniors and we hope that you continue to make good choices throughout your lives. Enjoy this exciting time in your life! Best of Luck!

Thank you Stark County Sheriff's Office and all the volunteers for bringing the Start Smart Program to Perry High School. They helped educate our students on distracted driving. The students were able to participate in activities that show the danger of driving while texting and /or impaired by drugs or alcohol. Please remember to make smart choices to keep yourself and others safe.
