I always remind myself that MLK day needs to be a day on, rather than a day off like what Fr. Skully says. I used to see this weekend as a three day weekend, but now I see it as a regular 2-day weekend and 1 day of service.
Martin Luther King Jr. did so much in uniting our community, that it is rude to not do anything on his day of honor. My mom has always told me to go help out the community, and this weekend I did.
On Saturday I went and helped plant 200 trees. It felt really good to help the community and know that the trail will now have more trees. I’m glad that I was given this opportunity to do service. I hope that other people used this weekend as opportunities to help out the community too because there were a lot of options for service learning this weekend.
I agree. MLK Jr. day is about service rather than a day off!
