A Compassion Corner at Meadowlark Elementary

On Friday, Meadowlark Elementary dedicated its Compassion Corner

You can read the story at Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools

While students were holding up the letters in "COMPASSION," fifth-grader Tyler Burton was reciting this poem:

C is for the CARING that you should show every day,

O stands for OFFERING help when needed along the way.

M is for MAKING everyone feel loved from the heart,

P is for PATIENCE you should offer from the start.

A stands for ACCEPTANCE and including everyone,

S is for SHARING the load, to help get a tough job done.

S is for SINCERELY listening to a friend who is in need,

I stands for being INTERESTED, and doing a good deed.

O is for being OPEN to those who are different from you,

N is for NOTICING peoples’ feelings and showing compassion through and through!
