The Montana Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Office of Public Instruction (OPI) are working together to give Montana students the opportunity to participate in state and national poster contests focusing on the theme of 'Bringing Our Missing Children Home.'
'This program not only allows our fifth-graders to compete in state and national poster contests; it gives parents and teachers a good opportunity to talk to young people about the importance of personal safety,' Attorney General Austin Knudsen said. 'I'm looking forward to partnering with Superintendent Arntzen to get the word out to Montana's fifth graders and to seeing their creative entries,' Knudsen added.
'As a former fifth grade teacher, I recognize students' ability to be authentic and creative. This year's contest theme of Bring Our Missing Children Home gives students an incredible opportunity to shine attention on a serious issue facing Montana,' said Superintendent of Public Instruction Elsie Arntzen. 'I encourage all Montana fifth grade students, teachers, and families to join the Department of Justice and the Office of Public Instruction in participating in this year's Missing Children poster contest.'
The student winning the state contest will celebrate with Attorney General Knudsen and Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction Elsie Arntzen at a later date and receive a $100 cash prize. The winning Montana poster will then be submitted to the national contest. The national poster contest winner, along with his/her parents and teacher, will be awarded a trip to Washington, D.C. to participate in the National Missing Children's Day ceremony on May 20, 2021.
