Monday, January 20, 2014 - MLK Day. While it was a day
off for some, it was a day on for others. People of all ages gathered together
to give back in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. From making blankets to
decorating cupcakes, members of our community happily donated gently used
clothing, food, toiletries, and most importantly, their time. This day has huge
significance, bringing equality amongst us all. Though we may just use it as a
day to sleep in and enjoy our time off, many took advantage of the opportunity
to give back and show appreciation for MLK's courageous work. Putting aside our
acquisitiveness, this day entirely focused on those less fortunate than us.
Whether filling a Ziploc bag with rice, or decorating bags to fill with candy,
a warm feeling was brought upon the Germantown Academy community, knowing that
we made a difference.
