Honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. day with community service
Students will observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday as a call to action, a day of service focused on making the communities with which we engage more equitable in order to facilitate the "Beloved Community" of Dr. King's dream.
Most of our students grades 8-12 will be working with members of the BIPOC/Migrant community of Lewiston in a variety of fashions including:
- teaching a group of 25 students to ski
- facilitating a basketball clinic for grades 5-8
- accompanying a group of children to the Bates College MLK Day workshops focused on Art and Activism and spending the day with the event's keynote speaker
- mentoring Afghan and Somali children in family homes
- teaching English and Citizenship classes for recent migrants
- running a weaving workshop
- facilitating childcare
- working on an environmental sustainability and justice program
- helping on a community farm, at food pantries or at the Good Shepherd Food Bank
Gould is a small, co-ed, independent boarding school for grades 8-PG. We are passionate about preparing academically motivated students for college, helping them to become independent-minded, ethical citizens who will lead lives of purpose, action, excellence, and compassion in a dynamic world.
