On Friday, December 7th an assembly was held at Washington Intermediate School in Red Oak to honor the winners of the 2007 Elks Drug Awareness Poster Contest. In the annual contest, 4th and 5th grade students create posters about the year's theme. In 2007, the theme was "Because I'm Drug Free, I Can ....".
Red Oak Elks Lodge #1304 selected Alyssa Wilkins as the 4th grade winner and Nick Carlson as the 5th grade winner. Each received $25 in Red Oak Chamber Bucks. In addition, both students won District Competition and will receive a $50 US Savings Bond. Alyssa also was selected as the State Winner and will receive a $100 US Savings Bond. In addition, her poster will be forwarded to the National Elks Drug Awareness Program for consideration to be placed in the Elks Drug Awareness Coloring Book.
The Elks are one of the nation's premiere social fraternities with one million members. Elks are extremely active in their communities with several youth programs including Scholarship, Hoop Shoot, Soccer Shoot, Americanism, and Drug Awareness. Annually, the Elks give out more than 3 million dollars in scholarship and are the leading nongovernmental distributor of drug awareness materials.
Here are a couple of links to the Elk's programs we received from Dave Fields:

We are very proud of Alyssa, Nick and every student at Washington who participated in the contest.
Good luck, Alyssa! We will keep everyone posted.
