MCPIK asked students from around Morris County how they stay drug free, and over 150 youth (ages 5 through 14) responded.
MCPIK's Community Coalition for A Safe & Healthy Morris (CCSHM) sponsored the "What's Your Anti-Drug?" contest, asking for original stories and poems, artwork, or photos showing what youth do to stay drug-free.
There were 24 winners in several age categories from 4 schools, including St. Cecilia, Sussex Avenue, Memorial Jr., and Canfield Ave. Winners were chosen by volunteers from Morris County communities and will be on display at the Rockaway Townsquare Mall from November 28 through December 5.
Thank you to all who participated!
