Today we honor Martin Luther King Jr. and his tremendous contribution to the civil rights movement.
"I have a dream that one day every valley shall be engulfed, every hill shall be exalted and every mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plains and the crooked places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope." -Martin Luther King Jr.

A HUGE shout out to PTO for providing the funding for an amazing assembly this morning. Coach Chris and Roary, the Lion's mascot, made their way through the snow to visit Holly Academy students y5-5th grade.
The assembly was an interactive character education initiative entitled "Lions Leaders for Life", designed to teach students grades K – 5 not only what it takes to be a successful leader in life, but also how to maintain a healthier lifestyle. Discussion about being a successful leader revolves around the Lions Leadership List, a list of six character traits one needs to have to be successful.
Forward down the field in your drive to becoming a Detroit Lions "Leader For Life"
L - LISTEN to your parents, teachers and coaches, and strive to LEARN each day at home, at school and in the community
E - Get in your playbook and become better EDUCATED by studying hard at school, understanding the importance of eating from the "5 MyPlate Food Groups," along with getting at least 60 minutes of exercise per day; as recommended by NFL Play 60
A - Develop a "game plan" by setting goals, and be AMBITIOUS in your desire for success
D - No Penalties! Be DISCIPLINED and do what is right in all aspects of life
E - Help your teammates and classmates by being an ENCOURAGING person who has a positive attitude, is a good friend and surrounds themselves with good people
R - Win the game of life by being RESPONSIBLE for your actions, and executing your role
The objective of the assembly is to utilize the sport of football and Detroit Lions' Mascot, Roary, as an avenue to convey the "Leader For Life" message in a fun and educational forum.

Before our Huskies went on break, Mr. Spooner had a special guest in Physical Education. Dr. Morey and Patrick Ranville from Great Lakes Chiropractic and Movement Center came to teach some of our Huskies about essential movement skills. The skills ranged from crawling to balancing and even a little climbing.
