MLK Day: A Day of Community Service

Children from many grades kicking off our
Togetherness Project with Anna in Founders Hall
 
Writing messages of togetherness.
 
Weaving the messages together as a symbol of our hopes for the future.
 
Making bookmarks to accompany the books we donated to children in need.
We filled our designs with messages of love and hope. Some people even used the words of Dr. King
 
Cooperative games with the 4th and 5th grade and Renee.


We did a kindness project with 4th grade that involved some "guerrilla goodness."
Check out the project here (you may find other fun ideas to spread kindness at home).
We also snuck around campus leaving similar messages for the people around us to find. Sneaking around is fun!
 
 
 
We finished off the day with a circle.
We shared our ideas about the important changes Dr. King brought about, sang songs of hope and listened to Dr. Carney read some of the famous "I have a dream..." speech.

It was a great day to put all of our attention towards doing good,
 being kind, fighting for the changes we want to see in the world around us.
As I watched the kindness of these children I couldn't help but think
 that the future looks very bright!
