Offering our hands to help!
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous question, “What are you doing for others?” reminds us that anyone can be a hero through kindness and service. In 2026, we honor his legacy not just by remembering him, but by making MLK Day a “day on” rather than a day off. Here are some simple ideas to share with your children to make Monday and this week one of service.
- Be a “Kindness Detective”: Look for someone at school who might be lonely or needs a friend and invite them to play.
- Write “Thank You” Letters: Create cards for teachers, firefighters, or nursing home residents to show them they are appreciated.
- Beautify Your Space: Pick up litter in a local park or help clean up your classroom to make your community a better place to live.
What did Dr. King stand for?
- Fairness: Treat everyone with the same respect you want for yourself.
- Courage: Stand up for what is right, even when it is hard.
- Love: Choose to use kind words to solve problems instead of getting angry
