Each year, as part of the Red Ribbon Drug Free Celebration, students from across the State of Oklahoma submit original artwork and essays. Students are asked to interpret the Red Ribbon theme. This year’s theme was, “It’s Up to Me to be Drug Free!”
The Jim Thorpe Association would like to thank everyone who entered the contests, it was incredibly hard to decide. Congratulations to the following winners.
