Dare County Schools and Region 9 Active Routes to School have partnered to implement the “Get Your Head in a Helmet! 1st Annual 2016 Challenge.”  The primary goal of the challenge is to increase helmet use, and make helmet use the default behavior among students (and community members) while riding a bicycle, skate board, scooter, etc. The challenge will take place from Monday, April 4th through Wednesday, May 4th.  Each day a student arrives at school wearing a helmet during the challenge, he/she can bring their helmet to the main office and receive a reflective sticker to place on their helmet.  They can also ride safely after school by wearing a helmet and have a parent initial the helmet log that can be presented at the main office for a helmet sticker . Each time a student receives a sticker, they fill out a ticket and will be entered into a daily drawing for a raffle prize.  Students who receive at least 10 stickers during the challenge will receive a “Be Safe, Get Your Head in a Helmet!” neon t-shirt.
