  • Support teachers with a donation to Take Stock in Morse*
    Morse PTO does not ask students to fundraise. Instead, we ask you fulfill staff grant requests. This means 100% of your money goes directly back into the classroom in the form of resources, educational materials, innovative programming and cutting edge technology. See grants approved last year.

  • Accept the 2 Hours of Power Volunteer Challenge
    We challenge parents, grandparents and caregivers to volunteer 2 hours of their time over the course of the school year to make morse amazing. Visit  our Volunteer page for more information.

    We have a dedicated Yearbook Volunteer who coordinates hundreds of photos to create an awesome keepsake for students.

    The $15 fee covers PTO operating costs, Staff Appreciation Week activities and a student directory, which is sent home in early fall.

  • Celebrate with a Birthday Book donation*
    The $15 Birthday Book fee helps pay for new library books. In return, your child gets to pick a new library book and be the first to check it out. A sticker with your child’s name and birth date is attached to the opening page of the book.

  • Contribute to your child’s class party fund*
    The $5 Room Party fee supports the crafts, games and treat purchases for the three class parties held during the school year.

    Bring supplies to School Supply Drop Off Night on Tuesday, August 13. Get your child's school supply list here.
