#MLKDay
MLK Day of Service
Dr. Martin Luther King was a civil rights activist in the 1950s and 1960s. He led non-violent protests to fight for the rights of all people including African Americans. He hoped that America and the world could become a place where race would not impact a person’s civil rights. He was considered a great speaker - many of his speeches still inspire us today. You may have heard his “I Have a Dream “ speech. Another famous thing he said was that “Everyone can be great because everyone can serve.” Congress designated the third Monday in January the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. Your service honors Dr. King's life and teachings and helps make your community a better place.
You may ask what can a kid do to serve while staying safe from a coronavirus? A lot!
BSAP and RBES PTA are partnering the annual RBES Day of Service. We are looking to have our students write letters, make cards or draw pictures for the senior residents at Vantage House.
