MLK Day Remembrance and Events
Monday, Jan. 17, 2022

Every year, we honor Dr. King’s legacy with a combination of learning for students and their families, as well as a community service project. Monk Inyang and Sandy Holder are coordinating activities this year. If you are interested in helping out in any way, big or small, please reach out to Monk:

A few important updates:

This year’s event will be virtual. The educational component will focus on the two elements of Social Justice that the kids will be studying this trimester at CHB: Social Injustice and Social Movements and Social Change.

We’re planning for a (video) presentation where children can respond with their thoughts using short videos.
Students will also make a corresponding art project in school.

For the community service component we will package canned goods and toiletries to be dropped off at local places of need.

Here’s how your family can help:

Will your family volunteer to be a drop off site in Montclair? We need 3 or 4 families to help with this.
We also need people to organize the items into small care packages.
And we’ll need people to volunteer to deliver the goods to our partner organizations.

Lastly, if these options don’t work for you, you can donate to our Venmo account @CHB-PTA and designate “MLK” and we will use those funds to support this effort.

Thanks so much for your support.
