San Felipe de Neri Catholic School Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

For January, San Felipe de Neri Catholic School students are focusing on the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.   He is a great example of living faith out loud.  We started out studying his speeches and famous quotes and moved to how this integrates with our School-Wide Learning Expectation for January: “We are servants of Christ who respect and appreciate God’s creation.”  We shared a quotation and information from www.thekingcenter.org in our Tiger Times Newsletter.

Kindergarten listened to Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech every day for a week before nap time so that they could think about it while they rested, and then they created a wall display that reads, “I can change the world with my two hands.” Now it has everyone’s handprints on it.  They then illustrated how they could use their two hands to make a change in the world.  Teachers assisted them in writing about their illustrations, and all are displayed in the Elementary Hall.

The middle school students studied Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s famous quotations and chose one that spoke to them about social justice and appreciating all humans as “God’s creations.”  With partners, they created posters which included the quotation they chose and how they see it coming to fruition in our world.

San Felipe De Neri is proud to be providing a balanced academic curriculum that integrates faith, culture & life.
