The Latin School participated in Nassau County’s 2013 essay and poster contest open to all middle schools for the prevention of Alcohol Abuse and Drug Addiction. Sixty-eight of our sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students participated with their writings and posters to the theme of “Be Smart-Don’t Start: Say No to Drugs and Alcohol.” We are proud to announce the following three top winners: First Place Essay – Ismenia Ginebra in grade seven, Second Place Poster – Alanna Plovnick in grade six, and Third Place Poster – Thomas Dompkowski in grade eight. The Nook Reader and Citations were awarded to our top three winners. Congratulations to all our participating contestants!
