Buckle up, Phone down Challenge
The J-Click club is reaching out to the Students, Families, Faculty and Friends of Jackson High School for their help in the 2022 Buckle Up Phone Down ShowDown. They are participating in this contest with 64 other schools across the state to increase awareness of distracted driving and the dangers that can come from driving distracted. J-Click is asking for you to take the pledge and help to make Missouri's Roads safer and in turn also try to win the BUPD Contest! They are trying to reach as many students, faculty and community members as possible.
Since J-Click started, they have significantly increased seatbelt usage at JHS. Please help us in this endeavor, as distracted driving has become a major issue on our roadways. Let's make a difference JR2! Take the pledge today. Make sure to enter Jackson High School Class 6. You can only enter one time.
Buckle Up-Phone Down-Arrive Alive Jackson!
