Dear Leopards:
There will be no school on Monday, January 16, 2023 in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
\r\nThis federal holiday celebrates Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights leader, a minister, and the winner of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize.
This Day, And Every Day, Show Kindness Through Service To Others.
This is also a student and staff holiday. School will resume on Tuesday, January 17, 2023.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. changed the course of history and inspired us to build what he called "the beloved community." The King Legacy of Service 25th Anniversary video tells the story of how Dr. King's birthday evolved into a national day of service. Featuring civil rights luminaries such as Congressman John Lewis, Reverend Dr. Joseph Lowery, and Ruby Bridges, the 7-minute video reminds us of the importance of keeping Dr. King's legacy of service alive and challenges us to make service a part of our lives ─ everyday of the year.

"He who is greatest among you shall be a servant. That's the new definition of greatness. ... By giving that definition of greatness, it means that everybody can be great, because everybody can serve." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
Thank you!
