Fifth Grade Red Ribbon Rallies on May 10 &
May 16!
Nearly
6,000 fifth grade students in Polk County have been invited to participate in InnerAct Alliance’s 2017 Red Ribbon
Rallies. Rally events in Lakeland are
scheduled on Wednesday, May 10th 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 Tuesday, May 16th, 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 will
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.
