This morning I glance news in google trends while is touched by a hot topic named “Martin Luther King Jr. Day”. Even though I’m not a student at school any more, a learner I will be in society for whole life. Here is the article I read.
About 200 Saratoga High School students are expected to take part in a community service day on Jan. 18 in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Students will gather in the school's quad at 11 a.m. on the holiday and choose to plant flowers to help beautify the school, participate in a school-wide cleanup effort or help prepare meals to be distributed to the San Jose Family Shelter.
This year marks the first time such an effort has been attempted, said Dory Albert, a volunteer with Saratoga's Parent Teacher Student Organization, which is sponsoring the event.
"We want to open the students' eyes to the world at large," she said. "It'll be a good experiment for them."
The organization set up a Facebook account to try and reach as many students as possible in this world of ever-changing technological communication. About 78 students stated on the page that they'd be attending the event, said Albert, who joins parent volunteer Sudha Sreenivasan as the co-chairwomen of the event.
Students who choose to spend the day cooking will prepare pasta, vegetables and brownies. The meals will be delivered that day to the shelter.
"We could spend a month on beautifying the school, but we only have the one day," she said. The students and PTSO volunteers will do their best with limited time and limited funds, she said.
This day is a day that a great man died, but is a day hopes appear and going on. It’s a significant time. And I think students and People can even do such things beyond Martin Luther King Jr. Day. His spirit can be carried forward to every single day when his spirit exist in people’s mind. Enhancing horizon can be in everywhere and everytime when we take effort to reach out for something.
