Martin Luther King Jr's Celebration this Saturday, 4/4/09

Mt. Hope Learning Center is scheduled to host a special celebratory event this Saturday in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. The event was originally planned to take place in the month of January. However, due to inclement weather conditions at the time, it was rescheduled for this Saturday, 4/4/09. Moses Brown students are encouraged to partake in the event. Participation will include helping younger attendees in mainly artistic activities. Ginny Fox, a local artist, plans to be on site to help those in attendance create peace flags.

The event will be held at the Martin Luther King Elementary School, 35 Camp Street. We will be there from 11AM to 1pm.

This event will be the second in recent weeks that students from MB have been involved with as regards Mt. Hope. On March 14, 2009, student volunteers performed yard work at the organization's main headquarters (also located on Camp Street).

MB Students Volunteered at PARL

On 7 February 2009, a group of Moses Brown students, along with some parents, visited the Providence Animal Rescue League(PARL) to do volunteer work. The work involved painting three offices onsite. There were a total of about 12-15 volunteers. Employees at the site were congratulatory as regard the job that the volunteers were able to accomplish. In addition to this venture, PARL served as one of the sites that was used as part of last year's community service day and a drive was organized few months ago that encouraged students and others to bring in blankets and other items to donate to the site.
