The Knights of Columbus’ annual Substance Abuse Poster Contest aims to use the most powerful tool available – truthful information – to help combat the problem of substance abuse. Last week, Richard Savoy provided an update on this year’s poster contest winners, and also shared the Knights of Columbus’ ambitions of eliminating substance abuse through the positive spread of public awareness, which has already produced “significant results”.
Early last week, Richard visited the two schools whose students were this year’s contest winners, so that North Grenville residents could see their local substance abuse prevention heroes. Over 150 works of art and posters were submitted, making the response to the contest truly heartwarming.
Meet your winners, pictured here:
– Ivy Hutchins in the 8 – 10 age group for substance abuse (South Branch Elementary)
– Meredith McCracken in the 11 – 13 age group for substance abuse (South Branch Elementary)
