Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Recently, Mrs. Van Horn's kindergarten class engaged in lessons that celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

A group of Banner students participate in activities honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

They read books, watched "Sesame Street" and "Reading Rainbow" specials, made crafts, and colored pictures with quotes as well as Dr. King's likeness.

This week—and every day—we strive to instill values of unity, equality, and compassion in our students whilst pointing them to Jesus, the only person who could embody all this and more perfectly.

"We enjoyed focusing on Dr. King this past week because we were able to incorporate numerous types of activities and multimedia, all while learning about someone interesting from history, especially as we have Monday off in celebration of his birthday," Mrs. Van Horn says. "I love the diversity on display here at Banner Christian School and pointing to how it could not have existed without people like Martin Luther King Jr.

"The changes he helped to bring into being are so special to me and one of the many ways I feel God shows his grace to us is through our ability to be in fellowship with one another."
