Back in November, many of our scholars learned about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his principles of non-violence, especially those relating directly to courage (our Habit of Mind for the month of January).
Our HJCS scholars created artwork showing how courage and kindness are the ways that we can continue Dr. King’s message of peace throughout the entire year.
