VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
Day-of-Dance Help Needed for Sneakers and Sequins Is your New Year resolution to meet other Morse parents and get more involved with the school community? We've got you covered. The Sequins and Sneakers Committee is looking for a little extra help on the day of the dance (March 4). Check out the Sign-Up Genius to volunteer today. Help us make this event a success. Morse Marksman Mascot Needed This Monday THANK YOU to all who have already stepped into the Morse Marksman role this school year: you have brought so much fun to our Monday mornings. We need Morse Marksman mascots for February (including THIS COMING MONDAY). Bring some school spirit to a chilly Monday morning. Check out the Sign-Up Genius to get your turn. Help Us Supply Our Staff Snacks During Winter Conferences Part of your dues as a PTO member go toward providing 3-4 staff meals each school year. In addition to the staff meal for February conferences, we would like to provide snacks in the staff lounge. Check out the Sign-Up Genius to help us stock the lounge with grab-and-go snacks. Take a look at all of our volunteer needs by checking out our 2022-2023 Morse PTO Events Sign-Up . Volunteering is a great way to build community and have input in your student's elementary school experience. Questions? Please feel free to email us. |
