Rockwood Teens Attend Prevention Leadership Conference<br />
Eight teens from Eureka, Marquette and Rockwood Summit High Schools attended this summer’s “True Grit” Prevention<br />
Leadership Conference (PLC) hosted by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (NCADA) in St. Charles July<br />
20-21. Scholarships were provided by Rockwood Drug-Free Coalition.<br />
Students participated in various activities and training sessions, broadening their understanding of substance abuse issues<br />
and enhancing their ability to serve as positive role models for peers. Several served in leadership roles as PLC interns.<br />
Marquette students were sophomores Michelle Li, Sydney Goehler, Paige Knittel and freshman Jerry Li.<br />
Eureka students were freshman Lauren Pacino and Emily Kloeppel. Rockwood Summit students were sophomores Gianni<br />
Carcagno and Grace Grzywa.<br />

Rockwood Student Wins<br />
Diverse-City Art Competition<br />
Marquette students with speakers Matt Matkovich<br />
and Phil Januszewski of M&P Productions, LLC.<br />
She began to draw pictures as soon as she was able to hold<br />
a crayon, and Rockwood South student Allison Peng hasn’t<br />
stopped making artwork since.<br />
Her mother Angela believes her art teachers in elementary<br />
school helped her blossom as an artist.<br />
“They introduced her to basic art concepts, taught her<br />
how to create different types of artwork and how to express<br />
herself with artwork,” Angela said.<br />
When Allison found out about the Diverse-City Art<br />
Competition, she decided to give it a go.<br />
“It seemed interesting to me,” she said, “and I heard they<br />
might display all of the artwork. I thought it would be interesting<br />
to see my artwork displayed and see the work of other<br />
people.”<br />
The Diverse-City art competition offers students the<br />
opportunity to present their independent understanding and<br />
awareness of diversity and inclusion within their communities<br />
and school.<br />
Her piece (right), “Keys to Success," was selected as<br />
Elementary School First Place Winner!<br />
Allison decided to donate her artwork to Diversity<br />
Awareness Partnership for Annual Silent Auction so the<br />
organization can raise more funds to help continue the<br />
Diverse-City Art Program for future.<br />
“Joining the competition gives students an opportunity to think more deeply about the importance of<br />
diversity,” Allison said, “and show their understanding of diversity through their artwork.”<br />
Angela wanted to personally thank art teachers Mrs. LaRose, Mrs. Sellmeyer, Mrs. Fanaei, Mrs.<br />
Wilhelm, Mrs. De La Fuente and Mrs. Blosser for their help and guidance with Allison over the years.
