Red Ribbon Fifth Grade Rallies Coming Up May 6 & May 13!
Nearly 6,000
fifth grade students in Polk County have been invited to participate in InnerAct Alliance’s 2015 Red Ribbon Rallies! Rallies in Lakeland are scheduled on Wednesday, May 6th at 9:30 am and 11:30 am
at The Lakeland Center. Fifth graders from Haines City and Winter Haven area
schools will gather on May 13th, at 10:00 am, at the Polk State
College Gym in Winter Haven.
The anti-drug motivational rallies focus on
reinforcing critical substance abuse resistance skills before students enter
middle school in the fall. Nationally
known speaker, Patrick T. Grady, community leaders, and radio personalities from 97 Country WPCV’s
Breakfast Club will be on hand to encourage students to make the
positive choice of a healthy
lifestyle without the use of drugs.
Fifth graders have been challenged to compete in a special contest to create original
essays, poems, and posters that convey topical anti-drug messages about
the dangers of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Contest participants will be recognized during
the rallies and overall first place winners in each
contest category will receive cash prizes of $100, $50
and $25.
