Lakeland, FL - InnerAct Alliance is proud to announce the winners of its Poster, Poetry & Essay Contest for Fifth Grade Students in the greater Winter Haven/Haines City area schools. 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. Students were challenged to use their creative talents to compose essays, write poems, or draw posters to illustrate topical messages about the dangers of alcohol, tobacco and others drugs. 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.
A similar rally for Lakeland area schools took place last week on Tuesday, May 4th at The Lakeland Center.
