Compassion will guide Smith Middle

Posted on October 8, 2009 by Staff

Compassion is the word at Smith Middle School, as teachers, students and staff prepare for Global Connections Night, Nov. 19, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Because “compass” and “passion” are words found in “compassion,” the school’s theme has become “Compassion: A Compass to Guide You … The Passion to Drive You.” Student exhibits on Nov. 19 will highlight local as well as global compassionate acts, events and people.

As a hands-on extension of this theme, Smith will hold a Compassionate Service Day on Dec. 5 from 8 to 11:30 a.m. After a pancake breakfast in the cafeteria, Smith students and their families will volunteer two hours at a local nonprofit agency doing work such as refurbishing porches at the Ronald McDonald House in Durham.

If you know of a service organization that would welcome youth and adults as volunteers on Dec. 5 or an organization interested in volunteering food or time for the breakfast, contact Robin McMahon at rmcmahon@chccs.k12.nc.usr
