🐉✨ Celebrating Chinese New Year at King! ✨🐉 Students at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership and Language Magnet Academy brought in the Chinese New Year with a vibrant celebration! The event featured an interactive martial arts demonstration from ATA Martial Arts, a fashion show, a music performance, and a lively parade with students and staff. This marks the first year of King’s language magnet program, and students were proud to showcase their Mandarin skills and cultural knowledge.
Ambassadors from the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Leadership and Language Magnet Academy proudly represented LRSD during a special tribute to the late civil rights leader at the Governor’s Mansion earlier this week. Way to go, students!
