MLK Week of Service - 1/8/24 - 1/12/24 

 "An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity"

~ Dr, Martin Luther King , Jr.

Purpose

WHS will be taking part in our very own MLK Week of Service from January 8th, 2024, to January 12th, 2024, which leads up to Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 15th. This week will serve as a reminder of the power of service and the importance of giving back. We believe that participating in the MLK Week of Service can play a vital role in fostering not only the growth of our students but also the betterment of our community.

Everyday Heroes is a non-profit organization. An animal rescue charity organization and a 501©3 in the State of New Jersey.

We partner with many Southern shelters and rescues to help provide good nurturing homes for puppies and dogs who find themselves in shelters for many reasons, but mostly none of their own doing. We help many dogs through our partnerships with other local and southern rescues by sharing our knowledge, foster availability, and helping with placement to give the best life possible for our dogs. This is why the phrase “it takes a village” is used so frequently.

We strive to promote education whether it's about preventatives, training, wellness checks, spay/neuter, and socialization (both human and animal) to give your newest family member the best chance at a new and happy life.
