Martin Luther King Jr. Day- NO SCHOOL MONDAY, JAN. 17th...Message from our Leaders of the Pack
"This is the Leaders of the Pack coming to you to talk about an amazing person in history~Martin Luther King Jr., also known as MLK, Jr.
On Monday, January 17th, we will observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It is a wonderful holiday, not only because we don’t have school, but also because of the man we are celebrating. MLK Jr. was a big help to our society because he had a dream that people of all backgrounds could be friends, co-workers, and neighbors.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a young man who was treated unfairly, so he made it his life-mission to peacefully end segregation and counter prejudice. Back in the 1950’s they had segregation rules which meant people were separated by skin color. For example, there were separate bathrooms, schools, and water fountains. That sounds awful!
Here at Sunset Ranch, we honor MLK Jr.’s dream in many ways. We are kind, respectful, and cooperative. Look around our campus and you will see people with many differences. As we reflect on MLK’s efforts, we are grateful that we are here together.
There are many ways we can be more like MLK Jr. in our everyday life! First, simply be kind and respectful to everyone around you! Read some books and learn about people who are different from you! Another simple way to carry on Martin Luther King’s legacy is to be inclusive. Whether it’s at school or your neighborhood park, always include people who want to play, no matter their race, gender, religion, or ethnicity.
All in all, Martin Luther King Jr. was an American hero whom we honor on January 17th. You may think a hero wears a cape and has special abilities but some don't. Martin Luther King Jr did not wear a cape, but as you know, he was a hero to many. We hope that you will be inspired by him and think about what legacy you would like to leave. Remember, whether it's this year or 50 years from now, a legacy lives throughout history."
