From MISD
Today, we honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. “Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are.”
Students at Longbranch learned about the wonderful contributions and the impact this great man has had on our country.
