talented youngsters of Monterey County...

You're being sought: if you draw, take amazing photos, or are actively involved in the Alisal, here's your chance for the spotlight.

The first opportunity comes from the Building Healthy Communities group, which is actively engaged in creating a better East Salinas. A group of teenagers have been very involved in the effort, and the group is trying to recognize their work. The Deadline is March 18th. Hard copies of the application are available at the 2nd Chance Office, Alisal High School, and Cesar Chavez Library. Or you can elizabeth@scyp.org and ask for one.

If you're too young for volunteering, maybe you're perfect for drawing! Monterey County kids in grades Kindergarten to 8th are invited to use their artistic talents to create posters to draw attention to the need to stay healthy during flu season and all year long.
Students can choose to draw about one of the following themes: Wash Your Hands, Cover Your Cough, Stay Home When You Are Sick, Eat Healthy. ¡Y también lo pueden hacer en español si quieren!
Deadline for submitting posters is March 31.
For more details, see the poster contest rules here.

Or maybe you're too old for drawing and snapping pictures is your thing.
All Monterey County 6th through 12th grade students are invited to use their artistic talents to take/submit photos depicting how they live healthy.
Students should focus on and depict any aspect of health in their photo submissions. The following themes are suggested or, students may create their own:
· Get vaccinated!
· Practice Healthy Habits: be germ free, eat a well balanced diet, exercise regularly, get adequate sleep, keep stress in check, etc.
· Keep your toys clean (big kid toys obviously! For example- cell phones, keyboards, steering wheels, remote controls, etc.)
· Spread the love/music/fun/health, not the flu!
· Wash your hands/clean hands
The deadline for photo contest submissions is Friday, April 29, 2011.
