| McClure course teaches students about compassion |
Students at McClure Middle School are learning firsthand what it means to show compassion in their community. Sixth-grade teacher, Bonnie Powers, designed the curriculum for a character-building course called "Appreciating Differences." She had been trained by the Spokane School District to use "Character Counts" in the classroom before coming to Seattle. The course focuses on six pillars of character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. During the study of citizenship, students show compassion for others by doing 10 to 15 hours of service for the community.

| A man among pawns |
If you ever find yourself thinking that all kids do these days is text one another and play on the computer, you'd be right. But one kid who does a little of both, has left the earth's orbit when it comes to one game: Chess.
Marcell Szabo, a 9-year-old resident of Magnolia may very well be the best chess player Washingtonians will ever see. He has won tournaments locally, regionally, throughout the state and across the country. He can beat just about anybody at his age group. He can beat grown men and women. He can beat computers. He can even beat his dad, the one who, three years ago, introduced him to the game.
