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.
