Des Moines “I Have A Dream” adopted all of the first grade students attending M.L. King Elementary on November 9, 2006. There are 45 active Dreamers in the project, and we will be working with them for 12+ years to achieve their dreams!
The King class of Dreamers are sponsored by Dr. Kari & Andy Hensen. They have committed to be a part of the Dreamers lives for the next 12 -14 years. They serve as mentors to the Dreamers and help chart the course for their success.
Some of the dreams heard from the 2018 M.L. King Dreamers:
To be a firefighter.
To become a vet.
I want to teach.
To be a doctor.
I want to be a metorologist.
The King Dreamers are currently fifth graders at King Elementary.
