Remembering the Message of Dr. King |
|
A Message from Sandra Espinosa, SCM Counselor and Health Care Coordinator |
|
“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
As I write this, a sunny, cool day is dawning in Houston and it is a fittingly beautiful day to remember the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There seems to be an urgency now for us all to reflect on his work and his powerful words of wisdom and truth, not just today but throughout this week as we transition to new beginnings with a new presidency, and throughout the year as we contemplate the past and think about the changes and internal shifts that we want to bring forward for the better of our community and nation.

Welcome back to the High School Corner!
The best moments in Montessori learning come when the stars align just right in a way that allows us to apply the knowledge we have acquired in class to the present moment. Over the course of the past school year, we have delved into the stories, events, and ideals that make up the origin points of America as a nation. In Humanities, we have traced the history of the North American continent from the first indigenous settlers to the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. In Literature Seminar, we have read and discussed Common Sense by Thomas Paine, a piece of literature that proved key in stoking the flames of revolution in the American colonies. And finally, in Current Events, we have connected our origins to the present day stories and struggles of America. All of these threads came together as we watched history unfold before our eyes today watching the 59th presidential inauguration as a class. The importance of this ceremony was amplified by all the previous knowledge we have of American history.
Thank you for reading!
Jacob, Isabella, Julia, and Sarah
