Martin Luther King, Jr. spent his life working toward a more just and equitable society, where everyone is respected and valued no matter their race, ability, religion, or background. Menlo Park City School District honors Dr. King's legacy, reflects on his powerful message of equality for all, and strives to make his dream a reality in our community.

Students in the district’s on-site afterschool care program, Newton Center, Inc. develop critical STEM skills, gain a deeper understanding of nutrition, and learn about sustainable practices with ForkFarm's vertical gardening. MPCSD is excited to have this opportunity to maximize student engagement using traditional hydroponic systems, engaging and inspiring them to explore the fascinating world of plant science. The state's ELOP (expanded learning opportunity program) funds made this possible.
