This year’s dance was
sponsored by RFS Charitable Foundation and Gifted Designs by
LilliANette, Inc.
“My main goal and
objective is ensuring the students of MLK are prepared and
equipped for life as well as being exposed to various social
functions and grades,” said Cook.
Three years ago the dance
was held in the MLK cafeteria, but the attendance has
increased so much that this year it was moved to the
gymnasium to accommodate the larger audience.
In addition to the
Mother/Son Dance, MLK is also holding a Fathers Day this
year.
“We are being sponsored by
Brothers United and Boys II Men of Distinction, Inc,” said
Cook. “Our speaker for that event will be Romules Durant,
Ed.D. We will have the three-on-three basketball, chess,
food, games and a time for male bonding.”
This year’s sixth grade
recognition on May 23 will feature guest speaker Bruce
Gradkowski.
“We are doing great things
at Martin Luther King, Jr. Academy for Bayos, where we are
heping our boys of Destiny become Men of Distinction,” said
Cook.
