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
  • ​Reimburse committee volunteers and room parents for expenses and update Quickbooks accordingly
  • File state sales tax report and work with accountant to file federal tax return
  • Communicate with committee chairs about budgets and reimbursement process

Co-VP Fundraising 
  • Revise and follow annual communications calendar
  • Update print materials,  create and post social media, update web site
  • Assist event volunteers in their fundraising/sponsorship efforts

SAVE THE DATE
Kindergarten Round-up--April 5, Morse Gym
We hope to see many  new (and returning) parents at Kindergarten Round-Up. Please be sure to print out paperwork, fill it out and bring it with you along with your proof of residency (utility bill or sales contract on your home (if new build)), student's birth certificate and shot records.


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. 


It's a great day to be a Marksmen!
The mission of the Morse Elementary PTO is to promote and encourage a
​student-centered environment with strong community connections.
