K‐8 Fire Up Friday Walkathon
Lower School students, paired with buddies from 7th and 8th grade, par cipated in a UNICEF Kid Power Walkathon on Friday morning. During the walk,
they earned over 1 million steps toward their goal of accumula ng 300,000,000 steps to unlock $5000 in funding to provide food for 83 children around
the world who are suffering from severe malnutri on. To learn more about this program, and to see how many steps they have accumulated, see‘Iolani
UNICEF Kid Power Campaign.
In Lower School Chapel, students learned about The Rev. Dr. Mar n Luther King, Jr.’s dream for the world. In religion classes, they wrote about their
own dreams for the world. These dreams decorated the Lower School walkway.

A er the walk, students gathered on the football field for a final cheer. They were reminded that Dr. King’s dream could not change the world if it only
remained in his heart. The dream had to come alive in people’s ac ons. Dr. King ~ and countless others ~ made the dream come alive in their two feet
as they marched, in their voices as they sang songs of freedom, and in their prayers as they gathered together in churches across the South.
Chaplain Simopoulos, a er reading aloud some of their dreams, reminded them that they need to find ways to make their dreams come alive not just in
their hearts, but in their words and ac ons. Here are some of their dreams.
I have a dream:
That there would be no war, no killing, no guns and no fightingThat everyone would have a family, and that all families would be able to live somewhere safe with enough food and clean waterThat everyone can have homes, and that guinea pigs would have homes, tooThat all kids and grownups would live in peaceThat no kids would have homeworkThat children would live in a world of peace forever, and no one would live in fearThat no child would ever go hungryThat we could end global warmingThat we could end stereotyping and bullyingThat women women would be treated the same as menThat we would have peace with our enemiesThat presidents would get alongThat everyone would be smiling, kind and fair
12 of 17 1/30/2018, 2:19 PM
That kids all over the world would be able to have a healthy life from the moment they are bornThat there would be no more suffering in the worldThat everyone in the world would have watermelonThat all people would have books to readThat there would be no more hatredThat families would spend more time together making their family bond closer than ever beforeThat we would stop polluting our world with trashThat one day we won’t have to worry about threatsThat every child would be able to go to schoolThat everyone in the world would find and understand God’s amazing grace
