Wellesley town offices, libraries and schools, and the RDF are closed on Monday, Jan. 18, in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

You can start your day at the World of Wellesley’s MLK Annual Community Breakfast Celebration, which takes place at Wellesley College’s Alumnae Hall at 8:30-10am. Keynote address will be by Dr. Yves Solomon-Fernandez, interim president of MassBay Community College. The Wellesley High Step Team will perform as well. Tickets are $30 for adults and $20 for students, and may be purchased at the door. RSVP to worldofwellesley@yahoo.com.

Another way you can celebrate MLK’s birthday is by attending an event at Schofield Elementary School on Monday from 11:30am to 1:30pm that will feature interactive activities, plus pizza, and crafts.  RSVP To: worldofwellesley@yahoo.com
