Congratulations to Shannon Smith, a junior at Taunton High School, who was recently named Massachusetts’ top youth volunteer for 2010 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, a nationwide program honoring young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism.  Shannon, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2004, developed and implemented a youth program for the Eastern New England Division of the American Diabetes Association to help youth and those around them understand and cope with the disease.  Shannon will receive $1,000, an engraved silver medallion, and an all-expense-paid trip to the recognition ceremonies in Washington, D.C. in early May.  Shannon’s efforts exemplify the values of our school community, and we are proud to have a student who gives so much to others.
