GOOD TO KNOW
Morse PTO Fulfills More Take Stock Wishes Unlike profits from fundraisers and PTO fees, which support specific school initiatives, Take Stock donations only fulfill teacher and staff requests. One hundred percent of these funds go directly back into the classroom in the form of resources, educational materials, innovative programming and cutting-edge technology. Thanks to your generous donations during this difficult year, Morse PTO was able to award additional Take Stock grants this spring, including playground equipment carts, light-up drumsticks for music education, and more! Check out this year's full list of grants. Morse PTO 2021-2022 Board Positions We are currently seeking volunteers who are interested in serving on the Morse PTO Board for the 2021-2022 school year. At present, all positions are running unopposed. To be eligible to run for a board position, you must currently be a member of the Morse PTO (meaning you paid the $30 PTO dues this school year). Since we will not holding an election meeting in person, look for an email from Morse Elementary prior to April 20th to complete the election process. Please email the Board if you are interested, have questions, or want more information. The following candidates are slated to be on the ballot:
