Day of Service Read-In Event to recognize the life and service of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Services, Inc. is partnering with Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem State University and HandsOn Northwest North Carolina for a “Read-In Event” in conjunction with one of the largest commemorative events held in Winston-Salem every year: the Noonday Celebration to remember the life and dream of Dr. King.

You will participate with your Little through “service stations” illustrating Dr. King’s message of service and literacy.  A few examples of stations include: writing letters to the troops, creating Valentine’s Day cards for the elderly, creating a banner titled, “I dream,” where they will be encouraged to visualize their own hopes and dreams, and a reading and book distribution station where the volunteers will read civil-rights themed books to the children. In this way, the students will learn more about Dr. King and what it means to provide service to others.
