MLK Visits the Holocaust Museum

Tuesday, December 8
Martin Luther King Middle School
1000 Mosby Street
Richmond, VA 23223

Short on miles, long on impact: your few hours of time brings a rich opportunity to some deserving students.

It's a journey of less than three miles, but the trip from MLK middle school to the Virginia Holocaust Museum takes students a world away and brings them back with profound lessons for our lives today. Your presence on the December 8 field trip can help make the difference between just another field trip and a real journey of remembrance for these students.

Take a break from your daily routine and help give others a one-of-a kind experience. Let us know you'll help by e-mailing Kim Bridges at bridgesjk@aol.com.
