“Operation Click” has been urging high school age drivers since 1998, to buckle their seat belts in order to save lives.

Fremd High School students participated in the program on Monday, Oct. 3, at the school. Students are eligible for prizes and incentives provided by local community resources and business, including the end-of-the-school-year Grand Prize Give-Away car, which is provided by Marquardt of Barrington.

To be eligible for major prizes, students must adhere to a signed contract to wear seat belts at all times, not drink and drive, not ride in a car with a driver who has consumed alcohol, and not be convicted of any traffic-related violation.
