Staying Connected During the
School Closure
 Deliveries of Chromebooks and hot spots for students in grades JK-2 have begun! Tech will be delivered to those families who have requested equipment. If you need a Chromebook or a hot spot, please email Marguerite with your child’s first name, last name, and their grade. If your address/contact info have recently changed, please include that in the email. Deliveries can be made to addresses outside of Cambridge. Stay tuned for more information from the Superintendent about distance learning and school supplies. In the meantime, check out the MLK distance learning page or through our main website.
Starting next week on April 13th, Marguerite Hicks-Gyewu, the MLK Family Liaison, will have “office hours” on Monday mornings from 10AM-12PM. Emails will be answered in real time (within reason). Email Marguerite >>
Remember that Good Friday, April 10 and the week of April 20-24 will be vacation and staff will not be available.

From the Garden
 As we move into April with extended school closings City Sprouts is working hard to keep the spark of outdoor and nature learning alive! We are committing to releasing regular videos with at home garden activities for our students. I've kicked it off with videos on searching for signs of Spring and sprouting plants from groceries! Follow along on those YouTube links!
Stay safe and healthy, but don't forget to get outside,

Young Artists Virtual Art Show!
 We are delighted to share our annual K-8 visual arts show, in partnership with our friends at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center. When it became clear that the MCAC would not be able to keep its doors open during the pandemic, they went to work to make it a virtual show. Check it out! As you scroll through the gallery, you can click on individual works to zoom in.
