(Midland, PA) The Midland Women’s Civic Club and Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center are teaming up to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day around Pennsylvania. The local events include several schools going to care facilities to visit residents and interact with them. The students of the Jazz Quartet at Lincoln Park Performing Arts Charter School will go to Celebration Villa in Chippewa with Grammy-winner Eric DeFade to perform for its residents. Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center will also work with Tickets for Kids, getting both young people and their families involved with their theater productions. Students from Midland Elementary and Middle School will also go to Beaver Meadows and Franciscan Manor to both read and bring joy to their residents. The students of Baden Academy will also perform for Concordia at Villa St. Joseph residents. Midland Innovation and Technology Charter School will work with a senior center that is local to both send messages and give treats away to those who live there. They will also provide specific items for children and their families in Midland. Middle school and high school students from these schools, as well as middle and high school students from the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School, will also participate in poetry and prose about greatness through service to try to win one of the Midland Women’s Civic Club’s MLK Day Awards.
