2006 Martin Luther King Jr.
 |
Northern Michigan University Football Team members
(l-r) Corbin Walker, Austin Hughes, and Arthur Scott went to Mrs.
Enright and Mrs. Murphy’s 4th grade classes at Father Marquette
Catholic School to read from the life of Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr.
|
In January of 2006, the Martin Luther
King, Jr. program provided biographies on the life of Dr. King to every
4th grade class in Marquette and Alger Counties. Those books (800 in
all) will be kept in the classroom for use year after year. In addition,
this year every 4th grade student in Marquette and Alger Counties were
given a book on the Montgomery Bus Boycott that they could keep – another
800 books.
During the two weeks following the Martin Luther King holiday, volunteers
from the community visited the 4th grade classes to read from the books
and lead discussions on the life of Dr. King. A special thank you goes
out to all of our volunteers.
The project’s evaluations have been highly favorable. 95% of the teachers
who responded agreed or strongly agreed that the books were appropriate
and high-quality and that they would like to have the volunteers visit
again next year.
The following organizations and businesses donated to this project
to support the purchase of the books:
Another thank you goes out to all those organizations, businesses,
and individuals. Thank you.
