SNAP will work with the students of Hamilton County to create contests throughout the year to support teens in making the right decision at the right time. Now Think Now will be one of the places teens can learn about these contests.
Buckle Down Contest
Teens in grades 9-12 at the participating Hamilton County High Schools (Carmel, Noblesville, and Westfield for the 2009-2010 school year) can participate by signing the Buckle Down Student Contract.
Teens with valid Indiana Learner’s Permits or Driver’s License by March 1, 2010 may be eligible to earn points that may be cashed in for prizes and will be eligible for the grand prize drawing held in May, 2010.
