Malverne’s Maurice W. Downing School first graders in Bridget Jelovcic’s class learned about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and how he earned the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.
As a family-culminated activity, each students’ parent(s) wrote qualities their child exhibits that are similar to King on the back of a medal they decorated.
The students were then surprised with the medal and presented it in front of the class.
