Her winning design, which was made into T-shirts, advanced to the state contest. Fifth-grade student <strong>Shaun Martin<\/strong> (right_ won second place and third-grader <strong>Landon Johnson<\/strong> (center)\u00a0 won third place.<br \/>\n(Posted April 5, 2011)<br \/>\n\u201cI drew my poster with feet stomping on drugs \u2013 cigarettes, pills and alcohol,\u201d Rice said. \u201cIt said at the top, \u2018Crush drugs, don\u2019t let them crush you, not now, not ever.\u201d<br \/>\nThis year, the Elks\u2019 theme, \u201cNot now \u2013 not ever!\u201d had to be incorporated into the posters\u2019 designs. Colored mainly in red and blue on white fabric, Rice incorporated a popular brand of pain capsules and used beer bottles in her poster design.<br \/>\n\u201cI felt pretty excited about winning,\u201d she continued. \u201cNormally, I\u2019m not the arty type. Mrs. Crull inspired me because she did one last year. It was a very happy day because normally I don\u2019t win very many things.\u201d Linda Crull is the school\u2019s art teacher. Rice won a $100 U.S. Savings Bond while the boys each won $50 savings bonds.<br \/>\n\u201cAshlyn\u2019s work is very strong,\u201d Crull said. \u201cHer family threw a big party for her. Her father wanted to buy the T-shirts for family and friends and that was before they found out she went to state.\u201d<br \/>\nCombining communication skills with art, Crull said she asked the students to take verbs like crush and depict the action they describe. She outlined the poster design process.<br \/>\n\u201cThey started with the slogan first, then the drawing. They don\u2019t draw first; they use lots and lots of words. When I began this project, it\u2019s a two-fold \u2013 language arts plus illustration.\u201d<br \/>\nMartin\u2019s poster read, \u201cThere\u2019s no need for weed, not now, not ever,\u201d and shows an older woman standing holding a garden hoe as she stands over a row in a vegetable garden.<br \/>\n\u201cShaun is really shy,\u201d Crull said. \u201cIt really surprised me when he continued with this project but he really wants to win. His biggest decision was the illustration.\u201d<br \/>\nJohnson\u2019s poster shows a large clown face and the words, \u201cNot now, not ever will I clown around with drugs.\u201d Johnson said drawing a clown sounded like a good idea after discussing it with Crull.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ashlyn Rice, (photo left)\u00a0 a fourth-grade student at McCurdy Elementary School in the Hazelwood School District, won first place at the local level and first place at the regional level in Florissant Elks Lodge #2316\u2019s annual anti-drug poster contest.
