Title 1 at the King
The King School has a very diverse community of families. Many countries and languages from around the world are represented in our student body. Along with cultural diversity, the King School can boast of its economic diversity. Approximately 35% of our families are eligible for free or reduced lunch. This mix of people at the King make this an interesting and dynamic place to work and learn for both students and adults. Although diversity of all kinds enriches any program, it also can present challenges. Title 1 funding helps our schools and others in the district to address some of these challenges. Read more >>
A Little Light Music: Songs of Electromagnetic Radiation
North Cambridge Family Opera is looking for adults and kids 5 and older to sing, A Little Light Music: Songs of Electromagnetic Radiation.
As part of the Cambridge Science Festival in April. A Little Light Music is a collection of kid-friendly songs about light and other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum by several different composers. The topics are as diverse as Northern Lights, radio waves, different parts of the spectrum seen by different animals, and sunburn. We will also sing a medley of songs composed last year by Cambridge Public School students as part of the songwriting workshops led by David Haines. Rehearsals will include a brief, accessible discussion of the science behind the songs.
