Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service- Valentines for Veterans

On Tuesday, we celebrated the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service by making Valentines that will be delivered to soldiers via the Pease Greeters Care Packages. We wished them well and thanked them for serving and protecting our country. Some of us shared that we knew men and women who were currently serving or who had served!

While it is a bit early to be thinking about Valentine's Day, we wanted to make sure they got overseas in plenty of time with lots of love from the 2R Giraffes :)

What Are You Doing For Others?

Hello, Families!

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington, Scholastic is hosting a poster contest for grades K-12! Scholastic is asking students to create a poster to inspire others to help others and answer Dr. King's famous question: "What are you doing for others?"We will be celebrating the MLK Jr. Day of Service on January 20th in class when we return from our three-day weekend, but students are more than welcome to enter the poster contest as well!

If you are interested or know of someone who would be, entry forms and more details for the contest can be found here. Entries must be postmarked by February 28th, feel free to ask Ms. Riley if you would like to borrow or use any art supplies to create your posters. Good luck!
