MLK Jr. Day of Service at Wheeling Country Day School embodies the spirit of community and action, inspiring students to make a difference in the lives of others. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: ‘What are you doing for others?'” This day reminds us that even the youngest among us can contribute meaningfully to building a better world.
For our MLK Day of service, 4th grade will collect travel-sized toiletry items. We will then spend our day packing them and writing notes to go in them to drop off to the freeze shelter. Suggested items to send – travel-sized shampoo/conditioner, lip balm, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, tissue packs, hand sanitizer, hand wipes, body wash. We could also use quart-sized baggies to make individual kits.
As a reminder, we suggest labeling all winter gear with your child’s name in case it finds its way to the lost and found. For snow, we are asking that if your child would like to play in it they wear snow pants or a snowsuit, coat, gloves, and boots. It can be brought packed so that they may still have warm and nonwet clothes to wear for the rest of the day. If we are having a sled riding day, a message will be sent out through Talking Points the day before to let you know. We will have a designated time for 4th grade to sled so that the hill is not crowded.
