On Friday, Jan. 17th, Watkinson’s Private Middle School students traveled to Trinity Academy on Sigourney St. in Hartford to share lessons about Dr. King through art, poetry, and history. Our students became the teachers as they worked with the younger children, grades 1 through 4. In addition, a small team of Watkinson students and teachers prepared lunch for over 100 people. At the end of the morning, we all gathered for a community meeting of sharing and singing Civil Rights songs including “We Shall Overcome” to remember and honor the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King.
