Millburn, NJ, Nov. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey (PDFNJ) invites New Jersey fourth graders to submit artwork for its 2025 Design a Fourth Grade Bookmark contest. Students are encouraged to create designs around the theme “Fun Things to Do Instead of Doing Drugs.” Winning designs will be printed and distributed statewide to classrooms.
Last year, Adam Idrovo of Good Shepherd Academy in Nutley and Emily Ortiz of Lafayette Street School in Newark were chosen as grand prize winners in PDFNJ’s Fourth Grade Folder Contest. They were among 35 finalists and their artwork was featured on 30,000 folders that were distributed to classrooms.
"This contest gives students a way to support a drug-free lifestyle," said Angelo Valente, Executive Director of PDFNJ. "By designing bookmarks with positive messages, kids can help their peers think about other fun ways to stay active and drug-free."
