Martin Luther King Jr. Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. Dr. King said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” Dr. King believed that strength came from a community working together as a whole. This MLK Day, honor the memory of Dr. King by giving back to your community. Here are a few suggestions: **Make “caring cards” to take to a local senior center. **Contact your local animal shelter to find out their needs. **Have your child pick out one item each time you go to the grocery store. Once you’ve collected enough to fill a bag, take it to a local food pantry. **Donate gently used books to be placed in lending libraries . **Volunteer at a nonprofit. **Prepare a meal for someone in need. Here are some ways that you and your family can celebrate Martin Luther Jr. Day from home. https://camp.com/articles/ways-to-celebrate-martin-luther-king-jr-day-at-home

"We had really hoped that Covid would have been in our rearview mirror by now. Unfortunately, it appears we will be dealing with it for several more weeks. The faculty and staff members of the ECCSS will continue to do everything we possibly can to keep schools open and operational. However, it will take a community effort to get through this phase." - M. Waters
