Would You Like to Give Input on Grant Awards?

Share information from the meetings with the PTO Board. Approximate time commitment is 2 hours monthly. |
We NEED Event Chairs
All of our major events are in the spring this year. While we have already started to recruit committee members for each event, we are still looking for committee chairs for Mother/Son, Daddy/Daughter, Trivia Night, and Carnival. Please consider taking lead on one of these, or grab a friend to co-chair the event. WE MAY NEED TO CANCEL EVENTS if we cannot find chairs to lead these committees. The Morse PTO board will support you and serve as a resource during the planning process if you need it. If you cannot chair, please consider signing up for one of these committees today, so we know these events have the support they need. |

DON'T FORGET
Support Teachers And Staff Through A Donation To Take Stock in Morse Morse PTO does not ask students to fundraise. Instead, we ask you to fulfill staff grant requests by donating to Take Stock in Morse. When you pay a PTO fee or contribute to a PTO fundraiser, the funds are distributed by PTO to support specific school initiatives, but 100% of your Take Stock in Morse donation goes directly back into the classroom in the form of resources, educational materials, innovative programming, and cutting edge technology. Take a look at last year's Take Stock approved staff grants, and be sure to donate to Take Stock through ParentVue today! We are currently halfway to our goal, so we would appreciate your support to get us to the finish line. Ways to Stay Updated Stay connected to our Morse community and get important announcements by liking our Morse PTO Facebook page and checking our Morse PTO website often.
