National Day of Service - January 19, 2026 - Martin Luther King Day
Martin Luther King Day is Monday, January 19. While it is a day off from school, it is designated as a National Day of Service. With your time off from school, we encourage you to give back to your community. Service to others is one of the ideas at the core of Dr. King's famous "I Have A Dream" speech.
If you give an hour of your time to help someone else, you can feel good knowing you made a difference!
Some ideas:
-
Pick up trash along your street
-
Bring out your neighbor's trash and recycling
-
Offer to walk a neighbor's dog WITHOUT payment
-
Make a baked good for an elderly neighbor
-
Make Valentine's cards for a local hospital/nursing home
