Students take home Human Relations Awards
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
A student from each pub
lic school in Winston-Salem
and Forsyth County, as well
as from some private
schools, was honored Feb 24
during the 3 1st annual
Human Relations Student
Awards Banquet.
The Human Relations
Commission partners with
Winston-Salem/Forsyth
County Schools to hold the
banquet, which honors stu
dents who exemplify positive
human relations in their deal
ings with others on such
issues as race, religion and
cultural differences.
"The Human Relations
Commission is proud to host
an event that highlights so
many remarkable Winston
Salem students," stated
Human Relatio?
Commission Chairperson
Jenny Viars. "No matter if a
child is a three year-old or a
senior in high school, the
banquet shows that a young
person can really make a
noticeable difference in his
or her community by being
conscientious and respect
ful."
Recipients were honored
for a variety of community
service activities, including
participation on safety
patrols, service at local non
profit agencies, and develop
ment of school-wide environ
mental programs. Students
were also recognized for less
measurable deeds, such as
babysitting siblings for
working parents, assisting
teachers in the classroom
with tutoring or Spanish
translation, and reaching out
a welcoming hand to strug
gling students.
The theme of this year's
banquet was "Putting
Passion into Practice." Rob
Stephens, the keynote speak
er for the evening, is a former
recipient of the Human
Relations Student Award and
was one of the key high
school students in 2003
behind the formation of the
annual Student Race
Relations Forum. He now
serves as the associate direc
tor of the Anti-Death Penalty
Project (ADPP) for the North
Carolina NAACP. Stephens
delivered a message that
encouraged this year's recip
ients to bravely continue to
make a difference in their
communities.
Mayor Pro Tempore
Vivian H. Burke delivered a
Black History Month procla
mation on behalf of the
Governor's Office. Fire
Chief Antony Farmer closed
the evening with a uniting
message for the 600 people
in attendance.
