Hiram Elementary School celebrated Martin Luther King Jr.
Day with an assembly to honor him. The students and staff all gathered
together in remembrance of Dr. King. Mr. Wilder, principal, began the
assembly with examples of the teachings of Dr. King and how we all can use
these in our lives. Miss Grubbe,
Hiram's music teacher, led the school's Honors Chorus as they sang “Sing to Martin Luther King”.
The school also held
an MLK essay contest. Miss Ford, one of the school's counselors, chose the winners.
Each grade had a different essay prompt:
K-1st: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wanted everyone to be treated fairly. Draw a picture of yourself and Dr. King, and write a paragraph stating what you would say to him about why it is important to treat others fairly.
2nd-3rd: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was a person who inspired others to be better people
and to help make the world a better place. Give examples of two great
things that Dr. King accomplished and explain why those examples were
great.
4th-5th: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was
someone whose words inspired others and made a lasting impact on our
country. Choose one quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and
explain why that quote is important to you and how it could make a positive
difference in your life today.
The winning students (pictured below) read their essays at the assembly.
