UPS workers deliver lesson about MLK at charter school - Daily Times
Students at Widener Partnership Charter School got a two-fold lesson in American history and supply chain management Friday morning when UPS employees visited for a Martin Luther King Day of Service event. Employees gave kindergarteners and second-graders a look at a UPS truck before reading King-themed books to students.
After pulling back the curtain on the workings of a UPS truck, the volunteers visited classrooms to read books on King to students. The books included “My Uncle Martin’s Big Heart,” recounting the personal memories of King’s niece and current Spelman College professor Angela Farris Watkins, PhD., from her childhood.
The event, in its second-year overall, marked the first time it was coordinated with Widener’s University’s Office for Civic Engagement and capped off a series of MLK Day events at the school.
