Weekly Wrap for Jan. 13th

Essential Pieces,
We have long weekend ahead of us. As we embark on Martin Luther King Jr. Day please remember to celebrate by serving others. Thank you, third grade team for making our celebration of the holiday a memorable one. Our Martin Luther King celebration was featured in the Saturday addition of the Winston-Salem Journal. You can check it out on theJournal’s website. The link is posted below. I would like to leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Dr. King that I live by:

“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 your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don’t have to know Einstein’s Theory of Relativity to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermo-dynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
