WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LIVE WITH PURPOSE?
People who live with purpose, live with passion. They are excited about what they do each minute of the day. They find the best in others and surround themselves with positive people. They also live in the moment and experience the best life has to offer. Most importantly, by living their passion, they make a difference in the world for the better.
HOW DOES THIS AFFECT ME?
On Tuesday, May 5th, the South Rowan community schools (Enochville Elementary, China Grove Elementary, Landis Elementary, Millbridge Elementary, Corriher-Lipe Middle, and South Rowan High) will present the third annual Purpose Prize Award to a member of the community, who has been nominated by YOU, and voted upon by a panel of community judges. This person should exemplify what it means to live with purpose and make an impact in the community.
