Principal Appreciation Month - M.L. King Jr. Elementary
Posted by Ashley LaRiviere on 10/30/2020The Yakima School District would like to thank and honor our principals for their visionary leadership and tireless pursuit of success for each student.
Did you know that Principal Maria Lucero knows how to play the saxophone? She started playing the saxophone in elementary school. Her favorite song to play was Hang on Sloopy by the McCoys.Did you know that Assistant Principal Sydney John likes to wear crazy socks every day at work? Students love to see what socks he's wearing. It's a great way to build relationships with students. -

Posted by Anne Chapma on 10/14/2020Syd John is the assistant principal at Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary.
Every day he records a video announcement to keep the kids informed about
important things they should know.
The students at MLK know that Mr. John likes to wear interesting or crazy socks every day.
Each day the first thing he does on the announcement is show off his socks.
It is a good thing that Mr. John is flexible and has good balance.
Check out the pictures to see why.

Washington Apple Crunch October 7th!
Posted by Melissa Lim on 10/12/2020Yakima School District participated for the first time in the state wide "Taste Washington Day," Washington Apple Crunch event on Wednesday, October 7th. The students who picked up meals received a fun handout sheet with apple facts, as well as a Washington grown apple so they could participate in the state wide celebration by biting into their apple with a CRUNCH! Our food service staff at Davis High school decided to join in themselves and are pictured below along with other food service staff throughout our differnt sites.
Did you know Washington State produces more apples than any other state in the United States? Harvest of these apples begins in August and goes through November and Yakima County is the leading county in Washington for apple production! On top of being an important economic part of the Yakima valley, apples also contribute some stellar nutrition! Apples contain antioxidants which help keep your cells healthy, vitamin c which can boost your immune system, and soluble fiber which helps lower cholesterol. Now there's something to celebrate, and if you ever get a chance to meet the growers and farmers of the next apple you take a bite of, remember to thank them for supplying you with a local, nutrition packed, delicious treat! Shout out to the Yakima Valley for being a noteworthy agricultural leader in our nation and for the Yakima School District featuring local produce.

The MLK All Stars Appreciate Their Administrative Professionals!
Posted by Maria Lucero on 4/27/2020Systems at MLK continue to run smoothly during the school closure in part because of the work of our office manager and office assistant. Ms. Morales and Mrs. Valdovinos are always willing to lend a hand to students, parents/guardians, school staff and visitors to our school. They are All Stars!
