From Reflection to Action: Students Engage Dr. King’s Legacy Through Learning and Service

Upper school students led Martin Luther King Jr. workshops on Thursday morning, guiding peers through reflection, dialogue, and hands-on learning.
Each group began by engaging with a quote from Dr. King, unpacking its meaning and considering its relevance in today’s world. From there, students explored powerful themes through interactive activities: designing vision boards for the futures they hope to create, learning about modern-day social justice activists through a Jeopardy-style game, participating in a simulation demonstrating how redlining and housing discrimination produced long-term economic inequality, and examining their own moral compasses through scenarios that challenge individuals to navigate real-world ethical dilemmas.
 
On Wednesday, middle school students gathered for Meeting for Worship centered on the query of service. Students reflected on Dr. King’s message, “Everyone can be great because everyone can serve,” discussing its meaning, whether they believe everyone is capable of leading through service, and how leadership can take many forms. The conversation also invited students to share acts of service they have already completed—and to imagine ways they hope to serve others in the future.
