Twenty-five students from Dr. King Elementary School were able to attend a Syracuse University basketball game because of their academic success in the classroom.

The students were chosen by staff at Dr. King and watched the game from the Citizens Bank suite at the Carrier Dome. They were treated to pizza, fruit salad and cookies.

Forty-one 4^th and 5^th graders from Dr. King School were treated to an Ice cream social on Tuesday, Oct. 30. The group was recognized for scoring on grade level on the New York State achievement tests last spring.

The students were congratulated for their excellent work and encouraged to strive for even higher marks on the state tests that will be administered in Spring 2013.

Students from Dr. King showed off their school recently at the annual open house.  Parents were able to interact with the teachers, review the new Pearson Reading and Math series and see all the new technology that Dr. King has acquired as a Pearson Pilot School.
