Spreading Love, Peace and Hope

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day

Monday, January 20 our school was closed in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This federal holiday takes place on the third Monday of each January and was established in honor of Baptist minister and social justice activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who was assassinated in 1968. King was the first modern private citizen to be honored with a federal holiday and his legacy continues to inspire millions of people around the world.

Our Garnet Band of 5-7-year-olds have been learning about Dr. King and shared messages of peace, love, and justice in their annual Peace Parade this afternoon.

MLK Jr Day is considered by many a “day on, not a day off.” On the Presidio, there are opportunities for celebrating the Civil Rights leader’s life and legacy all weekend with volunteer and engagement programs from Friday, January 17 – Monday, January 20, 2025. From park maintenance to habitat restoration, service work to guided walks – there is something for everyone.
