At this year’s annual School Bus Drug Prevention Media Contest awards night, hosted by the Palm Beach County Behavioral Health Coalition, two students from Wellington Elementary School were honored for their creative artwork and strong messages promoting the theme “Power of Choice: Be Alcohol and Vape Free.”
Fifth-grader Christian Suarez earned a spot as an elementary finalist with his drawing of a rainbow with children holding hands around the earth and the moving message in Spanish, “A world without drugs, together we can make a change!”
Third-grader Gavin Griesemer won the elementary artist choice award with his digital art piece “Hop on the bus to success! Choose to be alcohol and vape free,” showing a Palm Beach County school bus going uphill.
Griesemer’s artwork will be displayed inside all Palm Beach County school buses starting March 31, along with 10 other student winners from the elementary, middle and high school levels.
