During the last week of March and the first few days of April, third graders joined together to take a stand against bullying. To do this, we decided to participate in the Montgomery County Prosecutor Mathias J. Heck's Violence Prevention Poster Contest. Through this contest, art is used to convey a message about the dangers associated with the topic you selected from the list provided. All third graders created their poster on the topic of bullying.

In order to gain some inspiration, third graders watched the following video prior to drafting their posters:
The Violence Prevention Project began in 1990 to offer information about alternatives to violence as a means to solving problems. The close connection between violence and the use of illegal drugs soon lead to a discussion about alternatives to drugs as well as violent behavior. And, with the increased access to electronic technology it was necessary to include the subject of internet safety. The education programs and this contest have been used to encourage members of our community, particularly our youth, to promote positive behavior.

Posters were submitted. All entrants receive a prize but special prizes and awards are presented to those judged to have exceptional content, message, and creativity. An award ceremony will be held in May.
