MLK Day

 Today we are given a day off from school in remembrance of a great American who tirelessly worked to make our nation better.  Did you know that today is actually a national day of service?  Instead of sitting around, get out and help your community and your neighbors by volunteering!

Here are a few inspirational quotes from Dr. King:
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."

"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it."

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

"Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him."
