I Have a Dream

"I have a dream that someday....little black boys and little black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."

Martin Luther King, Jr.

One of the greatest peace-makers in all of American history was celebrated this week, and I hope everyone enjoyed an extra day off! This week, we spent more time working towards our active goal of 90 minutes of activity time during the school days in the month of January. We also spent some time commemorating Dr. King by watching part of his famed "I have a Dream" speech. Then the students took some time and wrote about their dreams and hopes that they have for peace in the world. Finally, we wrapped up the week by attending our school-wide P.E.A.C.E. assembly. We learned that Parkview will be raising money at a school-wide Art fair in May, and then using the money to donate an animal to a family in need somewhere around the world. This is through Parkview's collaboration with Heifer International. 

Looking forward to the last week in January and saying good-bye to the (usually) coldest month of the year!
