January 31 2020

The Temecula Valley Elks #2801 hosted a dinner for their Drug Awareness Contest winners recently at the Lodge. The twelve winners, their parents and their teachers were invited to attend, recognized and presented with framed certificates.

The contest materials were distributed to the elementary schools, middle schools and high schools through Peachjar during September 2019 in the Murrieta and Temecula areas. Contest materials were delivered to the private schools in Murrieta and Temecula areas. There were three contests – a poster contest for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students; an essay contest for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students and a video contest for pre-high school students, high school student and post high school students. The theme for all three contests was “Life Does Not Rewind – Choose Life Not Drugs.” Students were told to include the theme in their entry. First, Second and Third place awards were presented to the poster, essay and video winners. The winners received a certificate and a gift card to Barnes and Noble. The first place winner in each contest at the Lodge Level will be forwarded onto the District Level for additional judging and possibly additional awards.
