Back To School Night At Martin Luther King Middle School

Like many children in West Laurel, my daughter started the seventh grade at Martin Luther King Middle School in Beltsville Maryland.

Last night was back to school night for the parents. I was amazed at how many cars were in the parking lot and in the over flow on the grass fields. The class rooms were full of parents and a few of the students as well.

All these parents at Back To School night made me feel good about he community. Its nice to see so many parents wanting to take part in their children's education.

As we switched from class to class, the hall ways were full of people. This reminded me of when I was in school back in the 1970s. The halls were decorated with banners and pennants from various colleges across the country.

All the teachers I met last night at Martin Luther King Middle School in Beltsville seemed excited about the school year. All of them encouraged parents to visit "unannounced" to see how the children were doing in school.

My daughter did not seem to like the idea of me visiting unannounced and watching her in the class room.

My daughter is studying Algebra in the seventh grade. I didn't take Algebra till the ninth grade.

After visiting the school last night, I feel more confident that my daughter is getting good education at King Middle School in Beltsville Maryland.
