she believed that Kennedy
would provide her with the
help and hands-on approach
she needs.
This is Kennedy's first
year as a magnet school, and
the latest reincarnation for
the East Winston school,
which now shares its sprawl
ing campus with the new
Career Center and the Carter
High "School. Most recently,
Kennedy was a middle
school that housed the
Gateway and LEAP alterna
tive education programs.
Its new career academy
magnet program also offers
concentrations "in creative
enterprises, construction and
design and restaurant man
agement. Kennedy officials
pulled out all the stops to
tout its new programs at
Saturday's Fair. Students
from the restaurant manage
ment program did live cook
ing demonstrations and
offered food samples. Health
science teacher Linda
Coleman - decked in her
white lab coat - set up a dis
play using pharmacy tools
and a CPR manikin.
Kennedy Principal Kay
Rogers said that while the
competition to enroll stu
dents is fierce among mag
nets, the interest of students
always comes first.
"We like to say it's gra
cious competition because if
a student comes to us and
they fit another school, we
refer them and the other
schools are doing the same
thing," she said. "But the
thing I think is so wonderful
is that students have so many ?
options in the district."
Kennedy currently has
IOC students in its magnet
high school, with plans to
add 100-150 more students
per year. Kennedy Assistant
Principal Nathan Burton
said he hopes to follow the
lead of magnets like Paisley
IB Magnet School, which
have become both racially
diverse and academically
successful.
"Yes, it has worked, and
we're hoping the same will
happen to Kennedy," said
Burton.
Paisley was a dying mid
dle school with dwindling
attendance before it became
an - International
^Baccalaureate magnet
school eight years ago. It
now has a diverse student
body of 820 students in
grades 6-10 and is a School
> of Distinction, meaning that
80 percent of students per
form on above grade level
on end of year testing.
But Paisley wasn't rest
ing on its laurels at the Fair.
The school set-up an eye
catching table filled with
cjolorful motorized contrap
tions created by students in a
robotics class, and Paisley
music students played
African drums during their
time on the stage.
Paisley Assistant
Principal Lisa Bodenheimer
said the secret to Paisley's
recruiting success has been
positive word of mouth
spread by parents.
"We want our students to
choose us because we are
the right place for them," she
said. "Every school has
something good to offer, so
it's about finding a place
that you feel a part of that
school's culture."
Brenda Knox and her
son, Jordan, gave the sys
tem's magnet programs high
marks. The. family recently
relocated to the city from
Baltimore. Knox said pro
grams here seem to offer a
wider variety of curricujums
than Baltimore schools.
"They have classes in
things you can't get any
where else," she said.
Jordan, a seventh grader,
is looking for a good magnet
to attend once he enters high
school. He was particularly
interested in the theater pro
gram offered at Reynolds.

Echoes Adult Teacher
Commentary suggests that
"real reconciliation is based
on Joseph's belief in Goal's
power." Reconciliation may
not be easy, but it is of God!
Think about it. He loves so
much that He makes a way
for us to return to Him.
Reconciliation is of God, not
man. Joseph doesn't want
his brothers to anguish over
their decision many years
ago. God wants him exactly
where he*is for this time.
Sound familiar? Jacob's
eleventh son wants the entire
family to relocate to
Goshen. This region is locat
ed in the northeast section of
the Nile delta (where the
river empties). Considered
some of the best land in
Egypt, they wilj prosper
there.
Application: God has a
plan for every one of us!
Regardless of the situation
surrounding our birth, we
have a Calling that must be
fulfilled! God shapes us to
be faithful people.
Personally, I don't believe
that God causes everything
that happens in our lives. 1
do believe that He enters sit
uations that mbld us for His
purpose. No, we aren't pup
pets on a string. He gave us
the power to choose. Do you
glorify God in all things?
Don't turn on yourself when
things go wrong; trust God!
He will not let you down.

City rolling out
large recycling carts
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Starting this week, the
city will begin distributing
blue, 96-gallon rollout recy
cling carts to households
with curbside recycling.
Residents should not use the
carts until April, when all
/??irKci/la ra 01;
Vill L/31VIV I wjr"
cling in Winston
Salem will switch
to biweekly col
lection with the
rollout carts.
Residents
should continue
to use their green
carry-out bin
through the end I
of March, said I
Johnnie Taylor,
the city sanitation
(Jirector.
i UT1 11 a. ? _
?* tne ronoui cans require
automated colleotion trucks
that will not enter service
until ? April," Taylor said.
"Residents will receive their
carts sometime between
January 9 and the end of
March, because it will take
about three months to deliv
er all of them. But they need
to put the cart aside and con
tinue to use their green
carry-out bin until April/
Through March, resi
dents who live in neighbor
hoods with curbside recy
cling and who do not have a
green bin may put their recy
cling in a paper or plastic
bag and leave it at the curb.
The city has been testing
rollout recycling in pilot
neighborhoods for the past
three years.
"We saw recycling vol
ume increase by 30 percent,"
t i ;j
layior saiu.
"Residents like
the convenience
of not having to
separate their
recycling and of
only putting out
their recycling
every other
week."
When rollout
recycling begins
April 2, neighbor
hoods will be
designated for
red week or blue week
collection. A brochure deliv
ered to households with the
carts will indicate their col
lection week.
Residents in the neigh
borhoods where the city
tested 64-gallon recycling
carts will have their carts
replaced with the larger 96
gallon carts.
