Today we participated in the Greater Philadelphia Martin Luther King Celebration held at Girard College. 4 of our girls, 6th grade students, under the direction of the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia artist, Mr. Parris Stancell, painted a large mural depicting a theme having to do with the late Dr. King. One fact that stood out was that this celebration was sponsored in large part by Target Inc. as well as other organizations. The representative from Target made the point that their company gives charitable organizations 5% of their profit. That amounts to a staggering multimillion dollar figure.
