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.
