Listed below each day are the assignments.

To all Grades:

We took time today for each class to learn about Martin Luther King Jr.
This upcoming Monday we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day

-Please take time this weekend to reflect on his teachings and think about how you can incorporate his lessons into your own life.

We cannot all be Martin Luther King Jrs.
But we can strive each day to become better ourselves
And in that way, we can change the world.

I hope you all have a great weekend,
There is no homework besides what's listed above.
-Mr. G
