Martin Luther King, Jr. Marade

Students from our Kindergarten and 1st Grade classrooms participated in a peace walk and celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. together with students from Smith, Stedman, and Park Hill Elementary Schools. They sung "We Shall Overcome" together on the steps of Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church, where Martin Luther King also once stood! It was a beautiful morning.
