Federal Hill Preparatory School will host its inaugural Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Day of Service this Friday. Baltimore City Public Schools students have off next Monday for MLK Day, but the students, parent volunteers, and staff of the elementary school will use the half day on Friday to serve the community.
The Student Experiences Committee of Federal Hill Prep’s PTO organized the event in partnership with the staff and community partners, furthering their mission to plan field trips that connect to the school’s IB curriculum. .
Every grade will read a book about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and have a speaker the morning of the event to introduce their specific project and share about its impact.
The projects include:
- Pre-K: Making cards for the military
- K & Let’s Grow: Assembling bag lunches for Beans & Bread
- 1st grade: Creating lunches for My Sister’s Place
- 2nd grade: Cleaning at Federal Hill Park with South Harbor Renaissance
- 3rd grade: Cleanup near Solo Gibbs Park with Neighbors Meeting Neighbors
- 4th grade: Hosting Bingo for students at Digital Harbor High School
- 5th grade: Cleaning up Riverside Park
Digital Harbor High School, in partnership with Thread, is hosting an MLK Day of Service on Monday from 10am to 4pm and is looking for community volunteers. The service day will focus on beautifying the school’s bathrooms.
