Principal Thoughts
Counselor's Corner
On Monday, we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When my father was a young adult in Burlington, North Carolina, he heard Dr. King speak to a crowd gathered there in the downtown area. There was much strife and contention between races in that area during those years, and, after hearing Dr. King speak, he walked away with a little more hope that the tides would change. Dr. King was a powerful speaker and leader, but he also approached people with grace, always advocating for a nonviolent approach.
In these times of division and unrest in our country, it was helpful for me to go back and read Dr. King’s speech this week. It reminded me that as human beings, we all have far more in common than we have differences. I encourage you to read Dr. King’s I Have a Dream speech. In addition, I learned this week about initiatives that encourage students to use MLK Day as an opportunity to serve in their communities. One of these initiatives is through Youth Service America, and this website lists 100 MLK Day of Service Ideas. Although it may be a little late in the game to orchestrate a “project” for this day, as it is just days away, perhaps it will spark conversation about how we can find small ways to impact our communities. All Gray Stone students are required to complete a service project before graduation, so this may be a great time for students to start planning.
