Highland Elementary School held a Day of Service activity in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. yesterday. Faculty, students, and families assembled care packages to benefit the Cradles to Crayons nonprofit that provides essential items to children living in homeless or low-income situations.
For the past eleven years, faculty, students, and families of Highland have exemplified the dream and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by participating in a Day of Service at the school. Beginning on Monday, December 19, 2016, Highland launched a drive to collect donations for Cradles to Crayons. Students donated socks, hats, gloves, scarves, gently used coats, and toiletries.
Faculty, students, and families of Highland signed in, created banners, and assembled the care packages yesterday. The recipients of these packages will benefit from the efforts of their time and compassion. What better way to honor Martin Luther King, Jr., an awesome, innovative thinker and humanitarian?
Highland’s Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service is officially registered on the United Way’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service website. The organization provided the Highland volunteers with t-shirts.
