Last Chance: Vote for Student Produced Public Service Announcements
Middle and high schools students from St. Clair Shores produced public service announcements on "Teen Prescription Drug Abuse in our Community" and are competing against each other to win prizes.
A short time remains to cast select the top student produced public service announcements on “Teen Prescription Drug Abuse in our Community.”
Students in the 6th-12th grades created the videos earlier this spring for the contest sponsored by the Shores Network for Action and Prevention. The 30-second videos were then posted on the Shores Network for Action and Prevention Facebook page.
Visitors can vote for their favorite for the opportunity to win prizes of $400 for first-place, $200 for second place.
