Contest participants will be recognized during the "Red Ribbon Rally" this morning at 10:00 a.m. at the Polk State College Gym in Winter Haven.

The anti-drug rally will focus on reinforcing critical substance abuse resistance skills before students enter middle school in the fall.

Overall winners in each category will receive cash prizes of $100 (first place), $50 (second place), and $25 (third place) in each contest category.

Guest speaker for the Rally will be Patrick T. Grady, a former middle and high school educator who now travels full-time throughout North America inspiring and encouraging individuals to do their best in all of their endeavors.
