"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" King once said to an audience in Montgomery, Alabama in 1957. In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Target Southern California Distribution Center Market and Arrowhead United Way will be hosting a School Makeover at Morgan Elementary School in Rialto on Jan. 31, 2016 from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Through the Target MLK Grant, the school has been awarded $12,000 to renovate the teacher’s lounge and staff room, paint a mural on the school’s wall, paint black top art on the children’s playground area, and repaint the portables. MLK Day has become a day that reflects the life, teaching and spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by bringing people together around the common focus of service to others.
