SCCC FBLA students presented the Booster to Belts safety program to children at Spainhower Primary School. The initiative focuses on teaching K-2nd grade students the importance of proper booster seat and seat-belt usage.
Why it matters
The program aims to increase child seat-belt usage across Missouri to ensure compliance with state safety laws. It provides children with hands-on education to improve passenger safety during travel.
Missouri law requires children to use child safety seats until they reach 8 years old, 80 pounds, or 4 feet 9 inches in height. The program teaches children safety standards that align with these legal benchmarks.
