GOOD TO KNOW
Keep An Eye Out For Carnival/Fun Run Order Forms Morse Carnival and Fun Run order forms will go home with students next week. Please be sure to read the form carefully and return it to school on or before April 8th. More information about game sponsorship and volunteer opportunities will be coming soon. Deadline For Current Volunteers Is Friday We'd like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to this year's committee and special programs volunteers. We truly appreciate your hard work in making Morse amazing. If you intend to participate again next year and have not already signed up via the Sign Up Genius email sent by Morse PTO, please do so by this Friday, March 22nd. We offer current volunteers "first dibs" on next year's positions, but we will be posting volunteer vacancies on our web site for the entire Morse community the week of March 25th. Morse PTO Board Member Vacancies In addition to filling many volunteer positions for next school year, we need to find a Co-Treasurer and Co-VP Fundraising on the Morse PTO Board. Both these roles are shared and you can contact Mindi Leftwich or Noelle Tesmer if you have questions. Below is a basic outline of each position's responsibilities. These descriptions are not all inclusive and the time you put in will vary, but we would like to stress you will not work as an island--you will have the support of many! Co-Treasurer
Co-VP Fundraising

Ladies Night Out—April 9, Kendra Scott at Town Center Plan on attending our Spring Ladies’ Night Out at Kendra Scott on Tuesday, April 9—20% of proceeds will benefit Morse! We collected $283 at our December fundraiser and we are hoping to top that this time around. More details to come. |
