DON'T FORGET
Carnival &Fun Run Needs YOU!
We can't wait to bring loads of laughs and fun to the Morse community on May 3, but first we need your help with some volunteer opportunities:
  • Can you spend one hour of time on carnival evening working the event? We need adult volunteers to help run the event.
  • Do you know an older student who may want to volunteer at the event? Students volunteers are the heart of the carnival event.
  • Do you like to make or buy baked goods? We need your donations for the Cake Walk.
