Sing for Safety Foundation

Our first project, Battle of the Belt, is a collaborative effort with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and the St. Louis County Police Department. This program is a safety belt competition between high schools at the MoDOT regional level and then on a state level. The goal of Battle of the Belt is to reduce the number of motor vehicle related injuries and fatalities among Missouri high school students, by increasing safety belt usage. Teen representatives at the participating schools, with supervision from school personnel, conducted unannounced safety belt checks, as well as an educational campaign.

The Sing for Safety Foundation is pleased to congratulate the following St. Louis City/County winners: Christian Brothers College High School for the Highest Overall Seatbelt Usage and Pattonville High School for the Most Improved Seatbelt Usage. Sam's Club and Edy's Ice Cream have teamed with the Foundation to provide a special treats day for the students of the winning schools.

Representatives from MoDOT, Kerri Yap and Steve Clark and from the Sing for Safety Foundation Board, Police Officer Scott Roach and Melissa Gall (see picture left) were at Pattonville High School to present the award to Dr. Michael Fulton, Superintendent, Jeff Marion, Principal and Pete Barrett, Driver's Education Teacher.
