Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Monday marked a Federal holiday celebrating the birth-date of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  We asked the kids and teens here at Little Lights how Martin Luther King, Jr., a leader during the Civil Rights movement impacted their lives. See what the kids had to say!

In our art programs our kids also focused on Martin Luther King, Jr. Below you will see a glimpse of their artwork.

See more Martin Luther King, Jr. artwork on our Flickr page.

Programs Have Begun!!

Programs have begun this week!

It’s such an exciting time for our staff as we get in gear for another semester at Little Lights.  Middle school students in Homework Club are able to choose among the various enrichment classes we offer, one of them being a photography class.

Here’s a video introducing photography class to our students:

Their other options include classes on art, online research, Microsoft Publisher, and cooking; and all Homework Club students participate in World Culture Day each week.

If you’re interested in helping out with any of our classes, whether it be as a guest photographer or to share your culture, contact to see how you can get involved!

Happy New Year! And Welcome Back!

Splish, Splash Park

This past Saturday, a few of the Little Lights staff and volunteers took five 2nd graders to an indoor splash park in Maryland. The kids got to go down water slides, swim around, and try their skills at walking across some lily pads! Fun was had by all!

MAIL TIMMMEEEEE, and, anyone going to North Carolina?

We have an end-of-the-year mailing to organize this Thursday (12/17) from 2pm-4pm and Friday (12/18) from10am-12pm at the Little Lights Center (760 7th St. SE, Washington, DC 20003). It would be great if you joined us to fold, stuff, and stamp envelopes. It’ll be a good time.... !! No need to RSVP.

GOING TO NORTH CAROLINA??



Our girls from Girls’ Night will be preparing care packages through “Operation Christmas Child” this year. We were planning on shipping the packages to NC, but if anyone will be passing through the Boone, NC for the holidays, we could save money on shipping! Just throwing it out there, feel free to throw it right back. Email if you’re interested.

You tube, I tube, We tube!!!
