Shades Cahaba announces plans for MLK project

Each year, Shades Cahaba Elementary School does a school wide project for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which will be Jan. 18.

This year’s project will look different because of the COVID-19 pandemic and because the school cannot gather together. Instead, students will do projects by grade levels:

Kindergarten: Each class will make a thank you poster for the Homewood Fire Department and paramedics.

First grade: Each class will make a thank you poster for the Homewood Police Department.

Second grade: Each child will make a thank you card for medical workers in emergency room.

Third grade: children will make thank you cards for their postal workers and take it home to tape to their mailboxes.

Fourth grade: Students take MLK quotes and make signs to put around the school.

Fifth grade: Students write about how they would like to change the world or make the world a better place.
