Hello Berkeley Schools 
Community, 

  
We have all worked very hard to make 
our Berkeley schools a better place for everyone. Many of us have noted that 
Berkeley does not 
have a KING Parade, March or Celebration on Dr. Martin Luther King's Birthday and we have 
waited for the opportunity to do this.
  
We are "starting small" in our 
organization of this intention with "A 
WALK IN CELEBRATION OF 
CHANGE" on Monday, 
January 19th, the designated holiday for King's 1/15 birthday. 
Being that it is the day before our Presidential Inauguration of Barack OBAMA, we wanted 
this to be our first year of celebration of how far we have come and recognize 
our commitment to CHANGE.
  
We are meeting at Jefferson Elementary 
School  with coffee, juice, muffins 
and bagels at 9 a.m. on Monday 1/19 and will begin our WALK to King 
Middle School at 10 a.m. We will walk on the 
sidewalk observing all traffic lights and walking safely.  We will then 
have a program of stories and celebration in the King Auditorium, ending by 
12 noon.
  
We hope you can rally your friends 
and community to make banners and signs - or not - and walk with us and 
celebrate as well as observe the HOPE and PROMISE and COMMITMENT we 
have for the ideals of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., all of which are 
well-exampled by our President Elect Barack OBAMA.
