The SOS YC (Saving Our Students) Youth Coalition is sponsoring an Art Contest for Teens that is 2 fold: 1) to educate teens for prevention of drug use, and 2) to showcase artistic talents of teens in the community. The contest is part of the Youth Coalition's year long anti-drug project entitled "101 Things to Do Besides Drugs" that is currently ongoing.

The contest period will be from December 1, 2016, until January 6, 2017. All high school students in Anderson County are encouraged & welcome to participate in the contest.

Please see attached informational page, which provides details about contest, entries & winning prizes. 3-4 winning entries will become part of the Youth Coalition's brochure that's being created & will be distributed community wide next spring.

We are hoping that ACHS & CAL will encourage their students to participate in this contest activity.

Art contest entry forms & an informational sheet about the contest are attached for your use. If you have questions or need additional information regarding this matter, please contact me at 502-517-1938 or at [email protected].

On behalf of the SOS YC students, who care so much about their peers & work hard to prevent drug use, thank you very much.


Respectfully,
Donna Crain Drury, Advisor
Saving Our Students Youth Coalition
