Wake County student wished to provide lunch to students, faculty and staff at Middle Creek High School
Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina announced today that the wish of Rashawn King will be granted at Middle Creek High School on Thursday, April 26. King, who has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, requested that Make-A-Wish feed lunch to the entire student body, faculty and staff to recognize the support that he has received from his high school since being diagnosed in June 2010. Roughly 1,900 people will be served in the school cafeteria during the three lunch periods beginning at 10:30 am.
“We are truly honored to be able to grant Rashawn’s wish and acknowledge all of those who helped support him and his family during his treatment,” said Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina President and CEO Kristen Mercer Johnson. “It speaks to the character of this young man who decided to use his wish to thank the Middle Creek High School community.”
A senior who excelled in both football and basketball, King is a national runner-up in the third annual Inspireum Football Awards which “celebrates inspirational young athletes who embody the values of character, courage, contribution and commitment through the sport of football.” As a runner-up, the 19-year-old received a $2,500 scholarship from the program.
“Rashawn continues to inspire his fellow students and the entire Wake County Schools community through his determination and kindness,” Superintendent Tony Tata said, “We are proud to celebrate the generous wish he is sharing with his Middle Creek High School family.”

Design Camp is an annual summer design program offered to high school students at NC State University College of Design. It informs students about college study in design and raises awareness of the impact of art and design through a series of weeklong summer programs.
Design Camp projects challenge students to explore their creativity and critical-thinking skills while pushing them to try a range of techniques and media. The exploration of the design process teaches students to question, make choices, generate alternatives, work collaboratively and ultimately broaden their understanding of the world around them.
Camp participants work with camp faculty on projects involving each of the following design disciplines: architecture, landscape architecture, industrial design, art + design and graphic design. In addition to studio projects, students participate in other activities all aimed at stimulating their creativity and deepening their understanding of the design field.
Registration for camp begins Feb 15th and is on a first come basis. Visit the CAM Design Camp website to find out more information and to register.
