Dear St Paul’s School Parent:

 

All St Paul’s students in grades 3 through 8 are invited to participate in the 2005/2006 Knights of Columbus Substance Abuse Awareness Poster Contest. Students are encouraged to develop an original poster and slogan designed to discourage their peers from experimenting with drugs and alcohol.

  • Alcohol Awareness and Abuse
  • Drug Awareness and Abuse

 

Age Groups

 

Contest entrants compete in one of two groups – Grades 3 through 5, and Grades 6 through 8.

 

Rules

 

  • Posters must reflect either the theme of Alcohol Awareness and Abuse or Drug Awareness and Abuse. Participants must select one category only.

 

  • Each poster must be the original work (including concept, layout, slogan, and any visual images) of a single person.
