Happy MLK Day!

Thank you to everyone who came out last Tuesday for our school's annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebration assembly. It was great to see the gym packed with Bryant parents, teachers, friends and students and I was very proud of all of the students who participated. It was also very special, because we were able to have our assembly on Dr. King's actual birthday! (January 15th)

In music class, we have had some great discussions about Dr. King and what he, along with many others, did for our country. We read a story called "Let Freedom Sing" by Vanessa Newton, which illustrates many famous civil rights leaders and pairs their stories with the song "This Little Light of Mine." The main things we talked about were kindness, perseverance, equality, fairness, peace, non-violence and caring--all things that our Bryant students do and demonstrate on a regular basis. 

On this day where we have time to recognize and celebrate the immense impact of Dr. King, I thought I would share one of my favorite pictures of Dr. King and his family. Can you guess why I like it so much?!
