VALERIUS WEEKLY
January 17th - 21st
Reminder: NO SCHOOL or ADVENTURETIME on Monday (1/17) - MLK Day
- Monday, January 17: No school and no Adventuretime in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The UCSD Administration Office is also closed. This national holiday is often referred to as the “MLK Day of Service” as people of all ages join in acts of kindness through service to others. We hope you and your family find meaningful ways to use your day off as a day of service in support of family, friends, and/or community.
