Just making his rounds
Somewhere in a lower part of town;
A dark old building,
A dim light, a door opened was found;
No one else was needed,
He’d make all safe and sound;
He closed the door,
Checked the windows, slowly turns around;
One shot, then two,
Officer Down

18th ANNUAL “WHY I WILL SAY NO TO ALCOHOL AND DRUGS”

The APOA is about to begin its annual essay contest submitted by 8th graders across the state, entitled, “Why I will say NO to Alcohol and Drugs.” There will be two categories; one from the north, and one from the south. Each 1st place student will receive $300; 2nd place will receive $200; 3rd place will receive $125; and each 4th place student will receive $75. Also, this year, the APOA will award the teacher of each 1st place winner a $100 certificate to be used for class room supplies. Additionally, Jacksonville State University will donate a $500 scholarship to the 1st place winner in the Northern District, and Troy University will donate a $500 scholarship to the Southern District 1st place winner.
