Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 🎉
Dr. King was a man of service, and Monday January 20, 2025 is a day "on," not a day "off." It’s a day to step up, give back, and be active in our community through acts of service.
In observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, schools will be closed. Families looking for meaningful learning activities can explore the Waynesboro Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Celebration webpage for resources and ideas to reflect on Dr. King's legacy. https://bit.ly/40DbI9i
