Chess tournaments and basketball practices are opportunities to strategize, make friends, and learn new skills.

Parents and caregivers, please join us in encouraging your student’s participation in Rufus King extracurricular activities. Ask our parent coordinator or your child’s classroom teacher for sign-up and schedule information.
