Honoring a Vision
1/22/2019
Every year on Martin Luther King Day, Pacific Northern Academy has an assembly to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This year, student council planned the annual event with a beautiful assembly and a "day on," in which students learned about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s vision and contribution to our world. There was also an emphasis on the work still to be done throughout the world and in Alaska. Student council talked about this during the assembly and then led students in making blessing bags for the homeless in Anchorage. We educate students to be exceptional learners and independent thinkers of vision, courage, and integrity.At PNA, our mission is to educate students to be exceptional learners and independent thinkers of vision, courage, and integrity. It is hard to think of a better exemplar of an independent thinker of vision, courage, and integrity than Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. When faced with the injustice of our world, he had a vision for a better world. And then he spent his life fighting for that vision and sharing it with others, with both courage and integrity. This year, the staff and students decided to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by celebrating his vision for our world and trying to live out his message on Monday. It is not only our desire for students to live out his message every day, but also to follow in his footsteps. We want students to change the world: to have a vision and the courage to follow it with integrity. Comments are closed.
