Drug Awareness Essay

Since 1994, the Alvin Rotary Club has sponsored a Drug Awareness Essay Contest geared to the education of eighth grade students about the dangers of drug abuse. Students write interpretive essays about how drugs affect themselves, their family, their friends, their community or their country.

Eighth grade English teachers select one student essay from each class for further judging by the Alvin Rotary Club. Classroom winners and their families are invited to an appreciation banquet hosted by the Alvin Rotary Club. Each student receives a framed commemorative certificate and the top 3 winning students receive prizes.

This is a very popular event, and is well attended by teachers and principals. This year, the event was held Tuesday, February 2, 2010 in the Alvin High School Cafeteria.

Congratulations to this year's winners
