a weekly publication for the Williams School community
Week of January 17, 2011
Dear Williams School Families,
This coming Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We honor this day not as a day “off” but a day to
remember others who are struggling in some way and to serve others in some way.
During assembly on Wednesday, The Honor Council, made up of students from grades 6-8, stood up in front of
the school and presented what they thought we should remember next Monday. Each Honor Council member
took a step forward and quoted from Dr. King.
"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up,live out the true meaning of its creed -
we hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal."
"If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values - that all reality hinges on moral
foundations and that all reality has spiritual control."
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
"I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
"Nothing pains some people more than having to think."
"We who in engage in nonviolent direct action are not the creators of tension. We merely bring to the surface
the hidden tension that is already alive."
"Life's most urgent question is: what are you doing for others?"
"The ultimate measure of a [person] is not where he [or she] stands in moments of comfort and convenience,
but where he [or she] stands at times of challenge and controversy."
The Honor Council finished by telling the gathering that ultimately Dr. King’s words illustrate all of our values
and our common belief in doing the right thing especially when no one is looking.
Best,
Jay
