For the past ten years, Howitt Middle School's 6th-grade health teacher, Mrs. Pietronigro, has proudly hosted the annual Anti-Tobacco Advertising Contest. This meaningful project gives our students the opportunity to bring the truth about tobacco to life by creating powerful, eye-opening advertisements to share with their peers. Truth ads play an important role in raising awareness of the harmful effects of all tobacco products and reinforcing the importance of protecting our health. The smart decisions our students make today can have a lasting impact on their future well-being.
This year, every 6th grader created an outstanding advertisement, and Mrs. Pietronigro is incredibly proud of the hard work, creativity, and effort shown by all. A special congratulations to this year’s contest winners, Gavin Arenella and Conor McDougall!
