Red Ribbon Fifth Grade Rally Poster, Poetry and Essay Contest Winners

2022 Red Ribbon Fifth Grade Rally 
Poster, Poetry and Essay Contest Winners 

InnerAct Alliance is proud of the students who participate in the 2022 Red Ribbon Rally Poster, Poetry and Essay Contest for Fifth Grade Students. It is crucial that our community's fifth graders are armed with prevention tools and facts to prepare for the challenging middle and high school years ahead.

Participating schools submitted their students' creative poster, poetry, and essay entries a few weeks ago and winners have been selected in each contest category from each school among the entries received.

School with the Most Contest Participants Overall

Alturas Elementary     

Contest Winners will receive a personalized certificate and a red ribbon to signify the importance of substance abuse prevention. In addition, each participating school will also receive a check for $50 for its top winners(s) in their respective categories. 

Traditionally, Rally Contest Winners are honored at the Annual Red Ribbon Fifth Grade Rallies, however the events were not able to take place this year due to year-end and state testing obligations. Instead, student winners will be recognized at their individual schools' end of year awards ceremony or fifth grade graduation celebration.
