Clinton School Students Kayla Brooks, Quiana Brown, Kent Broughton, and Calandra Davis recently received a grant for $770.00 from Wisconsin Campus Compact.
Wisconsin Campus Compact is a lead agency in promoting the 2014 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. The MLK Day of Service honors the life of Dr. King. It is also a way of reminding all Americans of their civic duty to serve, as well as helping members of the community to work together to solve common problems.
Clinton School students wrote a proposal for a project entitled “21st Century Dream.” The 21st Century Dream project will enable at-risk youth to improve their sense of pride, literacy skills, and insight on non-traditional historical figures of color through an interactive community play in commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. Youth who attend this production will utilize the knowledge and literacy material obtained from the event to continue the work and conversation of public service in their communities.
The play will be held in February at a local school in Little Rock.
