The Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General’s Education and Outreach Unit challenged ninth-graders across the entire Commonwealth to create a short video Public Service Announcement (PSA) containing an anti-drug message that would appeal to their peers.
The Abington Junior High School team of Isabella DiPasquale, Emily Gill, Margaret Hanley and Alicia Whisman led by teacher Ms. Beth Nord placed first out of more than 30 entries submitted.
Rachel Hooper, District Representative to Senator Haywood, presented a Senate Proclamation of Congratulations to the Junior High School and Citations to each student today at the school.
The Proclamation states that the Senate is always pleased to recognize young citizens who, through their outstanding achievements, bring great distinction to themselves, their communities, and the Commonwealth.
At an Abington School Board meeting, the School Board honored the students and teacher and their award-winning PSA was shown. The PSA can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnZ-b_Mv5ho
