Drug Poster Contest

The Chippewa Area Lions, in conjunction with the Little Beaver Lions, conduct a Drug Abuse Prevention Poster Contest at the Blackhawk Intermediate School.

BIS has added our Drug Abuse Prevention Poster Contest to the art curriculum of their fourth grade classes. About 200 students (eight classes) will participate in this classroom activity.

Tri-fold brochures explaining the program have been given to Marykim Murtha, the art teacher. She will send the brochures home to the students’ parents. Posters will be completed and grouped by homerooms.

Mrs. Murtha will then select the top five from each homeroom. These 40 posters will be available by March 1st for pickup by Lion MacDonald.

Then, members of the Blackhawk Leo Club, the Little Beaver Lions Club and the Chippewa Lions Club will judge the 40 posters, picking a winner for each of the 8 classrooms.

First-place winners will receive a $20 award and a special certificate at the BIS year-end awards ceremony.
