Levittown Wins Contest with Moving Anti Drug PSA

Levittown students took the top honors in the second annual High School Drive Awareness Public Service Announcement Contest.

MacArthur High School’s Alex Philbin, Sam Marrero, Ashley Simoes and Max Cohen produced the winning PSA declaring, “End the Stigma.”

Kevin Granger, Nathaly Sanchez, Alexa Nania and Erin McCauley from Division Avenue High School received honorable mentions.

The contest raises awareness about illegal and prescription drug abuse. Officials said 125 students from nine school districts and Nassau BOCES submitted work. The contest invited students in grades 9-12 to create 30-second PSAs.
