Esperanza Elementary Invites Community to Participate in Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

Esperanza Elementary School, in the Deer Valley Unified School District, is inviting the community to participate in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service on Monday, January 18 from 8:30 � 10:30 am. Community members are invited to help realize Dr. King's dream by giving back to the community in helping clean the school neighborhood and near open field. Community members will meet at Esperanza School located at 251 W. Mohawk, Phoenix 85027 and are encouraged to dress warm and bring a pair of work gloves.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, �Life�s most urgent and persistent question is: What are you doing for others?� He devoted his life to advancing equality, social justice, and opportunity for all and taught us that everyone has a role to play in making America what it ought to be.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service provides an ideal opportunity to answer Dr. King�s challenge. By making King Day �a day on, not a day off,� and using the holiday as a springboard for service throughout the year, community members can help realize Dr. King�s dream and renew their communities and country.
