“Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” - Martin Luther King, Jr.
For those of you who want to help your students understand that MLK Jr. Day is not just a day off, but a day of service, Scholastic has some great resources for that. I especially like this first video, which explains how MLK Jr. Day came to be a national holiday. Click the video to go to the site.
While you're there, check out the Student Art Contest. It's a great way to combine art and the message of service to others.
