2011 Healthy Living Calendar Contest

In 2010, Saint Louis County Department of Health sponsored a Healthy Living Poster/Slogan Contest for County students in grades K-12. The purpose of the contest was to encourage students to spread messages to their peers that promote a healthy lifestyle. Posters could highlight any of the three following healthy choices:

	alcohol, tobacco and drug free living
	the importance of physical activity
	the importance of healthy food choices every day

Over 2,000 students throughout St. Louis County submitted entries in the contest. This calendar highlights the top 13 winning entries.

Thank you to the teachers, school faculty, and D.A.R.E. officers who assisted in promoting the contest to students. The contest provides an opportunity for Saint Louis County Department of Health to collaborate with schools throughout the county to promote Healthy Living. We would like to give a special thanks to all of the contest participants for their creative artwork and healthy living messages.
