CLOSING & GRATITUDE
Andrew HoletsRIBBONS OF ACTION
Student ActivityEach grade has been given a bag of ribbons. In this portion of the assembly, we invite you to reflect on what you have seen, heard and felt and find a word to express it. Your teacher will help you to write this word and, as a class, you will go to a place on campus and tie your hope, wish, action, commitment or prayer to this place. The high school will do this on their campus and the lower school will do so on theirs. This is an invitation and is optional. Your teacher will provide you with the appropriate pen or marker.
Afterwards, teachers, please collect all the ribbons. A member of the MLK committee will later collect these and tie to our fig tree in the garden to share with the whole community.
