Mission Trip to Haiti

Grace Cho (Class of '20) traveled to Haiti in the summer of 2013 as part of a mission trip. Grace, a rising 6th grader at the time, had not yet begun learning French in school. Only a few short months later, however, she can see how learning to speak French will be of great use on future trips. Perhaps she will even learn French Creole one day. Using language skills to help others is amazing!

Grace shared these beautiful pictures with us. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did.

My hero and inspiration,
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Make a career of humanity. Commit yourself to the noble struggle for equal rights. You will make a greater person of yourself, a greater nation of your country, and a finer world to live in." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve. You don’t have to know Einstein’s “Theory of Relativity” to serve. You don’t have to know the Second Theory of Thermal Dynamics in Physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
