Donations are being collected for silent auction baskets. Morse will be donating a basket (min. $200 value), and we are requesting gift cards to local restaurants or entertainment. If you have connections to local establishments and can get a gift card donated, please email Brooke Johnson at bemery01@gmail.com for the Non-Profit Tax ID , collection arrangements, or to follow up with questions.

Don't Forget to Take Our Poll
Our February Morse PTO meeting usually includes a speaker about a topic of interest to elementary parents. Do you want to hear more about student online safety, mental health, child development, state and national assessments, learning programs used in the school, or something else? Take this 15-second poll to help us plan a relevant, meaningful opportunity for the Morse community.
