Teen of the week: Arundel teen thrives on busy schedule - West County - (HometownAnnapolis.com): "n April 28, Displace Me Night was held in 15 cities across the country to raise interest in the Ugandan children's plight. Shannon was a volunteer at the Washington event on the Mall. Four thousand youths, including many of her fellow Wildcats, shivered through the unusually cold night, along with 64,000 others gathered at 14 similar sites. The Mayor of Gulu, Norbert Mayo, addressed the crowd in D.C. in person, and first lady Laura Bush did, too, via video. 'There's a whole new air of philanthropy at school,' Shannon observed. 'Now that 'Invisible Children' is securely part of what we do, we'll harness that spirit for other causes.'"
