The Weekly Spur
Week Nineteen: January 18 - 22, 2016
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is Monday, Jan. 18
The King Holiday honors the life and contributions of America’s greatest champion of racial justice and equality, the leader who not only dreamed of a color-blind society, but who also lead a movement that achieved historic reforms to help make it a reality. On this day we commemorate Dr. King’s great dream of a vibrant, multiracial nation united in justice, peace and reconciliation; a nation that has a place at the table for children of every race and room at the inn for every needy child. We are called on this holiday, not merely to honor, but to celebrate the values of equality, tolerance and interracial sister and brotherhood he so compellingly expressed in his great dream for America.
Word of the week, Quote & Call back:
W.O.W. – Cooperation: working together
Quote: “We must all live together as brothers or perish alone as fools.” By Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Call Back: Working……Together!

The first petal represents 25 or less box tops and every petal after represents 10 boxtops. **Just a reminder, SPED will be picking up your box top envelope every Friday, not PTA. **
