January: The Kindness and Justice Challenge
In January, more than 4 million students and 15,000 educators will honor the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by participating in the annual Do Something Kindness & Justice Challenge, a national education initiative that encourages students in grades K-12 to perform acts of kindness (helping others) and acts of justice (standing up for what is right) for two weeks in honor of the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Holiday. Each day during the program, young people learned the values taught by Dr. King: justice, compassion, responsibility, non-violence and moral courage and put these values into practice by performing positive acts in their schools, homes and communities. The KJ Challenge runs from January 11 to January 22.
January: Aid to the Little Sisters Health Service, Harlem
The eighth grade visited the center for a special Three Kings party with an early childhood socialization group. The students played with the children and brought each one a new toy. The Parents Association organized this visit and an additional visit to bring the children and their families much needed clothing.
