Join us for the MLK Day of Service


Please join us on Monday, January 21 from 8am to 2pm for the MLK Day of Service.  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'"
Each year, Americans across the country answer that question by coming together on the King Holiday to serve their neighbors and communities.
The MLK Day of Service is a part of United We Serve, the President's national call to service initiative. It calls for Americans from all walks of life to work together to provide solutions to our most pressing national problems.
Arthur Ashe Charter School will be the site of a BIG volunteer day this year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day!

We want you and your family to be a part of this very special day as we work together to make our school and community beautiful.  Food, music, tools, and fun provided!
