The poster had to portray an image or message promoting a healthy drug-free lifestyle. The poster could have been hand drawn or done in a collage style. Judges picked the winners based on originality and the effectiveness of the message portraying a drug-free life. The 8th-grade winner was Antonio Ibarra, while the 6th-grade winner was Kai Deatrick. Both received a $20 iTunes gift card. • PBMS needs your help. With extensive budget cuts, materials and promotion budgets have been slashed to keep more teachers and smaller class-sizes. As a result, PB Middle is in need of sponsorship of promotional materials (from $75-$500) as well as art, design and music materials (everything from a ream of colored copy paper to teacher mini-grants of $100). Sponsoring businesses and organizations will be recognized and promoted on the school’s eBlasts and marquee. For more information, contact Jennifer Sims at [email protected].
