Our Classes Pledge!

That is Grade 4A taking the Seat Belt Safety Pledge they created. Their hope is to have classrooms and schools all over the UAE and beyond take the same pledge.

We want to thank TeachUAE Magazine for helping us get our message out the the rest of the UAE. Our article will appear in the magazine hopefully around March or April.

Please read our pledge and decide if your class wants to help raise awareness for Seat Belt Safety in the UAE. If you do, take the pledge, have your teacher record it, film it or take pictures of you doing it and post it as a comment below. Be sure to include your school’s name, your grade and where you are in the world.

  1. Excellent job! With a combined effort of media, your important message will reach more people. Presenting the staggering statistics in the UAE regarding accidents and deaths was frightening (a good method to reach readers)! Several years ago my cousin died in a car accident, she was not wearing her seatbelt. Buckling up does make a difference. Good luck with your cause!

  2. Well done Grade 4’s. What a wonderful idea. I will be sharing this blog with all the Grade 5’s on Edmodo. Keep up the good work.

  3. Wow Grade 4A – I love your pledge and will share it with my son as well. What responsible Grade 4 students you are to take a stance on an issue that is so important to your safety. Well done.

  4. Great work 4a – very proud of you! I have shared this on Edmodo as well as my teaching friends in Australia. Mr Marshall

  5. Mr. Gastaldi would your class like to try and set up a skype? Or possibly send back and forth Video questions/Answers?

    GREAT JOB GRADE 4’s

  6. Good job grade 4a class! I take the seatbelt pledge. Paul and I will always buckle up AND make sure our precious granddaughters will always be buckled in when driving with us. Ontario Canada’s seatbelt motto is “buckle up for safety”. Good luck with your endeavours to make Dubai aware of seatbelt safety! Pledge taken in Aruba Nov. 28, 2014

  7. KG2B thinks this is a great idea. We think that if you don’t wear your seat belt if your mum presses the brake you will get hurt. We promise to always wear our seat belt and to tell all our friends on our play dates about wearing seat belts.

  8. Congratulations on supporting such an important safety project class! I have taken the pledge even though I never drive without buckling up. I will share your important message with my friends and family and urge them to take the pledge too. Raising awareness is the key to change. I applaud you for your passion in helping to minimize injury and death in vehicular collisions. Well done! Debra

  9. Primary 7B have watched your great video and we pledge that we will wear our seatbelts to ensure the safety of everyone!

  10. Very well done! I pledge to always “buckle up”, as it saves lives! Unfortunately, I have lost loved ones that did not! I encourage all my friends and family to buckle up! Great job!

  11. Dear Class 4A,
    We were really inspired by your creative video and wanted to take the pledge. We know it’s important to use a seat belt while driving in a car, especially with the crazy driving in Dubai! Thank you for sharing your ideas and taking your learning further.

  12. Excellent! This is something I find extremely important. My son is buckled safely in his car seat. My seat belt has saved my life in the two accidents I have been in. Great work bringing this issue forward!

  13. Dear grade 4A,
    Thanks for initiating this pledge… After watching your video we had a big talk in KG2G and we shared our knowledge and experiences regarding our safety while we are on a vehicle. We had this pledge in KG2G on Sunday 22nd of March 2015.
    We also promise to spread the word and share it with our family and friend around the world and not only Dubai.
    God bless you and Keep up the good work 4A!
    All the best regards,
    Narges Tabrizi and KG2G students

  14. Grade 4a I’m so surprised! Your helping yourself to keep safe when there is an accident in the car. Death and injuries happened so much for people because they don’t put their seat belt. I support your class and I hardly promise that next time I don’t forget to put on my seat belt. I’m thanking you 4a and I wish the other students follow your instructions. you are the role models of safety!
