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.
