"Injustice Anywhere is a threat to Justice Everywhere" MLK
This Monday, January 20th is the observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday. As such, there will be NO SCHOOL for students. To honor MLK's legacy is to uphold the tenants of our faith; standing for service and justice. I encourage all families to dedicate time to serve one's community on Monday Inshallah.
