Local students whose entries won the Knights of Columbus Substance Abuse Awareness Poster Contest now are waiting for the judging of the international competition, with results to be announced this month. Two of the state winners were from Saint Francis Xavier Regional School: Mariah Trujillo and Eva Marisol Barajas, who both entered the Drug Awareness category. Trujillo entered her poster in the 8-11 age group and Barajas in the 12-14 age group.
