WCMS Red Ribbon Week Poster contest winners

The Warren Coalition teamed up with Warren County Middle School to promote drug and bullying prevention education during Red Ribbon Week, October 23-31. In addition to playing Jeopardy with Warren Coalition staff, Warren County Middle School students were invited to design posters to share why they choose to be drug-free or to encourage other students to choose to be drug-free. More than 25 students submitted a poster to compete for prizes provided by Warren Coalition.

The students saw all of the slides and were able to vote using Google Forms. The poster submissions were all kept anonymous, so that students were voting for the slides rather than their friends. Amy Lelito, the Technology Integration Coach at Warren County Middle School, tallied the results and announced the winners:

1st Place: Sophia Coons

2nd Place: Abby Plosch

3rd Place: Matthew Carter

Each of the three students received a $25 Amazon gift card.
