“Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Throughout the King Holiday Weekend, Charles R. Drew Charter School students, families and members of the East Lake community participated in a “Day On, Not a Day Off” initiative. From a community clean up to meal packing, to a kids corner writing letters to troops abroad, East Lake honored Dr. King with open hands and generous hearts.
