Practical Ways for Families to Support Attendance

On Monday, January 19, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by participating in the MLK Day of Service—a national day dedicated to service, reflection, and community action. This day reminds us that everyone, including our youngest learners, can make a positive difference by showing kindness, helping others, and giving back.

Families looking for meaningful ways to serve together are encouraged to explore local service opportunities happening in our community. These activities are a wonderful way to model empathy, civic responsibility, and the values Dr. King championed.
