Martin Luther King, Jr. DayMonday, January 15

OnMonday, January 15, school will be closed to commemorate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On this day we celebrate the life and legacy of a man who brought hope and healing to America. We commemorate as well the timeless values he taught us through his example - the values of courage, truth, justice, compassion, dignity, humility and service that so radiantly defined Dr. King's character and empowered his leadership. On this holiday, we commemorate the universal unconditional love, forgiveness and nonviolence that empowered his revolutionary spirit.
