Greetings all!
The Dr. MLKing Jr School community has begun the annual "ABC Countdown" of the 26 days before summer. In case you did not get the flyer in the backpack, here is the countdown created by our teachers and staff.
I have also added in a few events in [brackets] to remind everyone :)
MLK Friends is our school's volunteer parent group/PTO - we have a website at mlkfriends.com and we support our school in many ways including:
- helping with last week's teacher appreciation lunch
- funding some end of year school trips
- learn more about all the ways we have helped support the school - click the "Impact" Tab above
We'd love to have you join us! Email Christina at mlkfriendsgroup[at]gmail[dot]com for more information.
