In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday, the Wauwatosa School District invites all students to reflect on Dr. King’s life, legacy and his impactful “I Have a Dream” speech.
We want to hear how Dr. King’s Dream is alive in your life today – more than 60 years later. This is your chance to share your thoughts, experiences and personal interpretations of his message.
To participate check your email for links:
Create a 30-60 second video sharing how Dr. King’s dream is reflected in your life, or how his “I Have a Dream” speech has impacted you.
The video should express your personal connection to Dr. King’s message of equality, justice and hope.
Prizes and Recognition
Winning videos will be showcased in a district-wide video tribute to Dr. King.
All winners will receive a certificate of appreciation and will be recognized at an upcoming Board of Education meeting.
The video tribute will be shared on social media on January 20, 2025 and shown in schools on January 21, 2025.
