Calling All Teachers and Parents of Hudson Valley 5th Graders

The New York State Missing Persons Clearinghouse will partner with New York State’s participation in the U.S Department of Justice’s National Missing Children’s Day Poster Contest for 2015.

This contest is open to all fifth graders in school districts across New York State. This is a great way to educate youth about personal safety, the dangers of running away and to raise awareness of missing children’s cases in New York and across the country.

Each state/territory will hold its own poster competition, each state's winning poster will be submitted for selection of the national winner. The winning child, his/her teacher, and parents are then invited to Washington, DC to participate in the National Missing Children’s Day ceremony. Click on the drawing below for details and rules.

We know we have many talented and creative students here in the Hudson Valley. Teachers and parents click here for more information and good luck! We can't wait to see the posters submitted. Fingers-crossed for a Hudson Valley winner.
