2 HOURS OF POWER CHALLENGE
We Have Volunteer Opportunities To Fit ANY Schedule Think you are too busy to help out? You couldn't be more wrong! We have easy jobs like running quick errands or donating store-bought baked goods for Staff Appreciation Week. We have a weekly summer sign up to care for the OWLS Garden. We have far off tasks like being Committee Co-Chairs for March 2020's Trivia Night. We have volunteer opportunities to fit any schedule because we do so much and need help from so many! Please check out our volunteer listings. |

DON'T FORGET
Staff Appreciation Week Starts Sunday, May 5 "2-4-6-8! Who do we appreciate?!" Help us show our staff just how much we appreciate their hard work and kindness by participating in Staff Appreciation Week activities. Because we just can't wait until Monday to start the fun, we'll kick off the festivities on Sunday, May 5 with "Chalk the Walk" and popsicles. Check out our plans for the whole week. |

GOOD TO KNOW
Last Minute Carnival Details Below are the top 6 things you should know about this family fun event:
Way To Go Readers! Congratulations to all those who participated in the Literacy Team's "Step into Reading" challenge. In April, 325 Morse students reached their goal! Check out how many students reached their goal in each grade level below. They will receive a special button for their efforts.
Back To School Prep Is Underway Yup, you read that correctly! We've already started planning for the next school year and to help you keep track of all your To Do's, we've created a handy What & When Checklist. Hang On To Those Field Trip Shirts At the start of this school year, PTO provided each student a field trip shirt. The t-shirts are color-coded by graduation year and are intended to continue on with your child to the next grade level. Our goal is to purchase as few replacement shirts as possible each year, so please keep your child's shirt somewhere safe over the summer. |
