The entire student body gathered at the school’s gym to engage in activity’s based on the theme, “I Can Change the World with My Own Two Hands.” Kids practiced team building through different problem-solving tasks. For the art piece, students created hands using symbols and words to illustrate how “together we can make the world a better and kinder place.”
The program featured Tom Kretsch, former teacher at Columbus and founder of the Peace Games. Guest speakers included Reverend Artie Kassmidis and Torianh Blake, a student from the Norwalk Grassroots Tennis Inner City Student Program.
Student music groups also performed.
The Columbus Magnet School holds this event every year to honor King and to reflect the diverse cultural background of Norwalk.
