This weekend promises to be an exciting one throughout the country, with Martin Luther King Day set for Monday, and the inauguration of President Barack Obama on Tuesday. There are loads of events planned for Charlotte, including a free community celebration with the Charlotte Symphony at Belk Theater, Blumenthal Performing Arts Center and the City of Charlotte Martin Luther King National Holiday celebration at Spirit Square McGlohon Theatre. These events are free, and highly recommended.
There is good news for students in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools. Some students plan to use the long weekend to travel to attend the inauguration in Washington. Exams had been scheduled for that day – but now exams are cancelled for Tuesday, and any student who is absent to attend the inauguration will not be penalized. 4 high schools have groups going – Harding, Independence, Providence and West Charlotte, and a larger number of teachers than usual have requested substitutes for Tuesday. Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools will be open, but the only exams scheduled are makeups.
