WINSTON-SALEM — Students at St. Leo School celebrated the second annual Cultural Awareness Day March 18. This year’s festivities included music, dance and artwork from a number of world cultures, as well as an international bake sale to benefit the Daughters of Padre Pio in Benin, West Africa.
This religious order, led by Mother Madeleine Koty (sister of the school’s own French teacher, Georgette Koty), is dedicated to caring for and educating abused orphans. Pictured are: (from left) Aidan Vu, Jessa Pacholke, Nevaeh Fears, Cooper Smits and William Grissom.

KERNERSVILLE — Bishop McGuinness High School recently conducted an annual Winterim Experience, a comprehensive study of seniors’ interests and career opportunities. Each of the school’s 119 seniors shadowed two career professionals for 30 hours.
Starting last September, they completed research, writing business letters to a potential professional to shadow and learning basic professional etiquette.
The experience culminated in each student giving a presentation to a panel of faculty members.
