Martin Luther King Jr. Day - It's a day ON!

Monday was absolutely fabulous! I am so proud of all of the Everyday Leaders who participating in our service kick-off on January 18th. When you all could have been sleeping in, playing outside, or watching TV, you came out and served. You carried on in the spirit of service of Dr. King.

We served at the A.G. Rhodes home on Boulevard and Woodward close to the Old Fourth Ward and the King Memorial Center. Students came prepared with interview questions to tap into the residents' knowledge about MLK, the Civil Rights Movement, and the 1960s. It was an inter-generational exchange of stories that off the students should be proud of. They were excited and learned a lot from the seniors.

Great work! Next week, Everyday Leaders joins forces with other students to form the ACMS Environment Club!

Peace,
Laura
