Martin Luther King Elementary School
Home of the Blue Lions
Due to the prolonged period of high temperatures and increasing humidity levels, which continue to build within our school facilities, all Edison Township Public Schools will operate on an early dismissal schedule on Friday, June 12, 2026.
Lunch will be served at all elementary schools. Dismissal is at 1:30 pm.
The Edison Recreation Department's afternoon A.B.C. Program will operate as scheduled.
Today, MLK had its Freeze Dance Celebration with Moby from BrainPOP! Students from every class attended the celebration and ended the day with delicious freeze pops! Huge shout-out to Mrs. Ronco for letting the school know about the contest and to all teachers who participated!
Looking for ways to stay active, build skills, and have fun this summer? Edison Township Public Schools is excited to offer a variety of summer sports camps led by our outstanding coaches and staff.
Whether students are interested in developing their athletic abilities, learning new skills, or preparing for an upcoming season, our camps provide engaging opportunities for athletes of all experience levels.
Explore the camps below to learn more about dates, locations, registration information, and program details. We encourage families to register early, as space may be limited for some programs.
We would like to say Congratulations to our MLK Odyssey of the Mind Teams for their hard work during World Finals.
