4th Grade Fun Things to Do Instead of Drugs Contest Finalists
The Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey is excited to announce the 2024-2025 finalists in the Fourth Grade “Fun Things To Do Instead of Drugs” artwork contest! The task of selecting the finalists from thousands of entries was extremely difficult, and in our eyes, each student who spent time creating their peer-to-peer artistic prevention message is a winner!!
The artwork of the two grand prize winners will be featured on the 2025 Fourth Grade folders that will be distributed in the fall. Teachers can request folders for their Fall 2025 students by visiting: drugfreenj.org/fourth-grade-folders
