HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In observance of National Children's Dental Health Month (NCDHM) in February, the Pennsylvania Dental Association (PDA) is sponsoring its annual poster contest. All Pennsylvania third-grade students are eligible to participate in the contest.

The grand prize winner will receive a $1,000 education bond and see his or her poster reproduced as bookmarks to be distributed to all Pennsylvania public libraries. In addition to the student prize, the first-place winner's school and teacher will each receive a $250 prize. The first-place winner will be awarded his or her grand prize at a school function.

In December, PDA distributed lesson plan kits to third-grade teachers in Pennsylvania public, private and charter schools.
