In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., our middle school students led workshops for Grades PreK to 5 students on Friday, January 20. Using MLK’s famous Theodore Parker-inspired quotation “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice” as their central theme, middle school students and faculty have been working together for weeks to design workshops on a person or movement that they believe is “bending the arc” and bettering the world around them. All students took part in a workshop facilitated by a small group of middle school students and at least one faculty member.
True to our mission, this project helped us honor Dr. King’s legacy and reinforced essential skills for our middle school students such as leadership, critical reading, information literacy, public speaking, problem-solving, and presentation through authentic practice. It also allowed our elementary students to be inspired by the work and enthusiasm of the older students and to think critically about how they, too, can change the world!
