Each year, schools and communities around the nation celebrate Red Ribbon Week to commemorate substance abuse prevention. To kick off this year’s celebrations, students across Missouri participated in ACT Missouri’s annual Art Contest. Local student Jillian Plymell, a seventh grader from Pattonsburg, was selected as a winner. Her art work will appear in the 2017 Year in Prevention Calendar, and she will receive a $50 gift card and a certificate of participation. This year’s theme, Your Actions Matter, was incorporated in each artist’s submission.

The purpose of the contest is to engage and empower students to prevent substance use among their peers by spreading the message that “your actions matter.”
