All Pennsylvania third-grade students are eligible to participate in the contest. The grand prize winner will receive a $1,000 education bond and see his or her poster reproduced as bookmarks to be distributed to all Pennsylvania public libraries. In addition to the student prize, the first-place winner’s school and teacher will each receive a $250 prize. The first-place winner will be awarded his or her grand prize at a school function.

In December, PDA distributed lesson plan kits to third-grade teachers in Pennsylvania public, private and charter schools. Each kit contains information on dental health topics, classroom activities, four activity sheets, instructions for the PDA-sponsored poster contest and a complimentary NCDHM poster for the classroom. The poster contest deadline is Friday, March 4. PDA will announce the top three winners in April. For additional classroom resources, visit www.padental.org/teacherscorner.

Reduce The Rise In Substance Abuse Harrisburg, PA (Grassroots Newswire) - What have Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck, Britney Spears, and Mel Gibson all had in common besides fame and fortune? A drug or alcohol problem. Unfortunately, many of our children are following their examples and getting involved with dangerous substances at increasingly earlier ages. The average age of a child’s first alcoholic drink is now 8 and a teenager’s first experiment with marijuana is occurring at age 13. In a 2008 survey of youth by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, 40% of American teens reported that they believed prescription medications were safer to use than illicit drugs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in 2007 that 45% of high school students, regardless of gender, were drinking alcohol, many to the point of regular bingeing. So what is a parent, grandparent, or other caregiver to do? Drug Free Pennsylvania, one of the Commonwealth’s premier non-profit organizations in educating adults about substance abuse, will be holding a free seminar for parents in partnership with the Northeastern Educational Intermediate Unit # 19 (NEIU) on Tuesday, January 25, at 7:00 p.m. The seminar will be held in the Susquehanna and Wayne Rooms at the Intermediate Unit, which is located at 1200 Line Street, Archbald, PA. Not only will participants learn about the kinds of substances now making their way into schools, communities and homes, but those in attendance will be taught strategies to help young people avoid these substances. So whether parents have preschoolers or new college students, there will be information for all. There is a need to pre-register for this seminar as seating is limited. Please register through Drug Free Pennsylvania’s website at http://www.drugfreepa.org/seminar/neiu.asp. For further information, please contact Dr. Glenn Zehner, Educational Programs Director. He can be reached at 1-800-533-3394 or zehner@drugfreepa.org.
