SPECIAL TO [HE CHRONICLE
Almost $10,000 was raised in
May for the 2014-2015 Study
Abroad Program at Carter G.
Woodson K-12 School (CGWS).
A fortunate group of the
school's high school students will
study in Kenya and Tanzania this
year, thanks to the generosity of
local businesses, donors and 121
party-goers who attended the
school's annual community
fundraiser, The Black and White
Gala.
This is the second year students
have had the opportunity to live
and learn abroad and experience an
unforgettable international learn
ing experience that deeply con
nects them to the global communi
ty. The select group of high school
students who participate are cho
sen through a rigorous selection
process. A new view into the
world opened for the students who
lived and studied in Kenya last
year.
"My days at the school in
Mombasa, Kenya have made me
more thankful for what 1 have and
what I have access to," CGW stu
dent Jennifer Perez posted to a
blog last summer while on the
school trip to Kenya. "Looking at
the students at the school is just
unspeakable. They work with what
they have. If they have two note
books but take eight subjects, they
will divide the pages in sections in
their neat handwriting (which
everybody has). 1 do miss my fam
ily a lot and I'm ready to go home.
But I'm also really enjoying my
family here because they are such
kind and caring people."
In August. Carter G. Woodson
School will celebrate its 17th
anniversary. The school serves stu
dents from kindergarten through
high school and has long been
known as a place that promotes
unity, self-development, coopera
tion, creativity and faith not only
for its students, but for their fami
lies, the staff and the greater com
munity. The school offers free
tuition, bus transportation, after
school tutoring and award-winning
sports programs.

Award goes to
city planning
SPECIAL TO THE
CHRONICLE
The American
Planning Association has
honored the Legacy 2030
comprehensive plan for
Winston-Salem and
Forsyth County with a
National Planning
Excellence Award.
The association pre
sented the prestigious
Daniel Burnham Award
for a Comprehensive Plan
at its national meeting
April 29 in Atlanta. The
award recognizes
a comprenenstve
or general plan
that advances the
science and art
of planning
through such
measures as
originality, inno
vation, public
engagement and
the role of plan
IIC1S.
In selecting Legacy
2030 for the award, Ann
C. Bagley, the awards
jury chair, said, "Planners
in Winston
Salem/Forsyth County
used creative outreach
tools to engage its resi
dents in the planning
process ... Even the
smallest of Forsyth
County's towns were
given the opportunity to
offer solutions and devel
op goals, policy recom
mendations and actions at
community meetings or
on the website. The plan
addresses the pressing
issues facing the county
and used a fun way to
engage residents in the
process."
To involve citizens,
planners used such tools
as an interactive website,
a film series, public
meetings and a music
video. More than 700
comments were gathered
through a series of public
meetings and the plan's
interactive website,
which had more than
30,000 webpage views by
the time the plan was
adopted by all of the
county's government
bodies in February 2013,
said Paul Norby, the city
county planning director.
"One of the benefits
of the Legacy 2030 out
reach process was that
our department came into
contact with more citi
zens than ever
before, Norby
said. "The com
munity now sees
greater connec
tions between
planning and
things like pub
lic health, local
foods, equity,
and quality of
life in general."
l ne Legacy 2UJU plan
is an update of the origi
nal Legacy comprehen
sive plan adopted in
2001. It is intended to
help our community plan
now for a projected popu
lation growth of 120,000
people by 2030 while
also ensuring that there is
space for commercial and
industrial growth, recre
ation, schools, and other
uses. The plan covers a
wide variety of subjects
including economic
growth, the environment,
transportation, downtown
and neighborhoods, and
is posted online at
Planning.CityofWS.org.
The American Planning
Association has also
posted a video about the
Legacy 2030 plan win
ning the Burnham Award
and it is posted at
