“I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you! I have two children of my own and all they could talk about Friday evening was the brains! And I went to a soccer game over the weekend and several MLK Parents approached me asking about the brain activity and how cool they thought it was. They mentioned that their kindergartener was explaining at home that ‘there is a line that runs from my toes to my head and my brain makes my toes work!'”
I am surprised and overjoyed at the response to your visit. I sincerely hope you consider returning to Dr MLK Jr again next fall. TO all of the students, I wish you the best in your studies!”
Sincerely, Teresa Seidel, Principal, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary School
