  Monday, January 21, 2002—date change

Patience and Peace Begins with Me

Attention Staff, Students and Parents/Guardians:

Over the past ten years our event has had participants from churches, public and private schools in the Sacramento, Stockton, Elk Grove, and North Sacramento areas. The Annual “Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Celebration Event” will occur at the Sacramento Convention Center again this year.  Our oratorical event provides an opportunity for students in the Northern California area to participate and showcase their talents.  Please pass this information along to others in your district, school site, church and/or family.

Once we receive your confirmation form stating an interest then a registration packet will be sent to you. Students may choose poems in the packet or they may develop original works, recite other poems, or perform skits or another type of Visual/ Performing Art (performing arts grades 3-12^th grade only). Please submit a copy of the proposed piece your child/student will be reciting/performing by Monday, December 3, 2001 to our office.  All original works and art displays must adhere to the theme, Patience and Peace Begins with Me. During the first week of January you will be contacted as to the time your student(s)/child (ren) will be on the program.
