Copiague Student Wins State Prize in Knights of Columbus Poster Contest
Daniel Apolinario, an eighth-grade student at Copiague Middle School, has been awarded the state prize in the 12-17 age group for his poster submission into the Knights of Columbus-sponsored Alcohol and Drug Abuse Awareness Poster Contest. The purpose of the contest is to promote local awareness among young people of the major societal problems of alcohol and drug abuse, and to generate ideas nationally and internationally for the Knights of Columbus substance abuse awareness posters and literature.
“As a charitable organization in the community, our most important responsibility is to spread information and increase public awareness of the dangers of substance abuse,” remarked Grand Knight Bob Waidler from the Our Lady of the Assumption council of the Knights of Columbus at the September 19th Copiague Board of Education meeting.
