Despite COVID restrictions, some students in Southfield honored that commitment by leading by example.
At MacArthur K-8 University Academy, community service is the center of everything the students do.
“We teach the importance of why it’s important to give back and be a part of the community,” said 3rd grad teacher Era Benson.
Students and teachers work together on community service projects all year round, but on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, those service projects are highlighted.
“I think one message that we want our children to get from this is that it’s not always about you,” Benson said. “Yes, let’s think about other people. Let’s think about Dr. King’s dream of giving to others and making sure that everyone is treated equally and given the same privileges and advantages.”
