“Classroom Winners” for the Warren County Sheriff’s Office Anit-Drug & Violence Poster Contest were rewarded with a pizza party and magic show at the American Legion Post 053 on Tuesday night!

Student winners were chosen from every fifth grade class across all elementary schools in the Warren County Public School District.  Children were asked to draw a poster representing something they have learned so far from their D.A.R.E. program in school.

Thank you to Domino’s and Keven Owens for helping to make the evening special for the kids with yummy pizza and exciting entertainment!  Below are the winners from each 5th grade classroom.  The overall winner will be announced during graduation later in May!

E.W. Morrison:  Laynee Lamb, Trinity Collins, Kamryn Dodson, Serenity Crump

Leslie Fox Keyser:  Kaitlyn Breeden, Kylie Strosnider, Shiloh Avery, Kayla Haase

Ressie Jeffries Elementary School: Melissa Zook, Wesley Thompson, Audrey La Combe, Mason Tewalt

Hilda J Barbour: Kayla Bittner, Brooklyn Kriby, Kristina Andrews, Kira Shaver

Thank you to the D.A.R.E. Sheriff’s Office representatives who work with the children to educate them about the dangers of drugs, violence and help deliver anti-bullying messages.  You are appreciated!
