VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
One More PTO Position to Fill: VP Social Activities VP Social Activities: This position helps to establish a balanced social event calendar by communicating with event chairs/committees. This person does NOT have to plan these events. In addition, this position welcomes new families and encourages PTO membership by sending out a welcome letter at the beginning of the year (and as needed throughout the year) as well as attending new family events, such as Kindergarten Coffee, as schedule allows. This position is a great opportunity to get to know more Morse families and can be learned quickly. Find a Way to Volunteer NEXT year: Sign Up Now Open We appreciate all of you who have volunteered your time and talents by signing up to join a committee or lead an event this year. The Morse PTO is beginning to plan for next year. Check out our 2023-2024 Morse PTO Events Sign-Up to figure out how you can help. 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. Help Us Bring Back the Marksman the LAST Two Mondays The weather is warming up, and we want to cheer on our students as they near the year's finish line. Help us bring the Morse Marksman to the last two Mondays of the year! Your effort will bring guaranteed smiles on these final Morse Mondays. Check out the Sign-Up Genius to get your turn. |

Staff Appreciation Week Continues We have had a great week so far chalking the ground outside of Morse, bringing flowers to teachers, stocking the staff lounge with snacks, gifting each staff member a token of our appreciation, providing a taco truck lunch, drawing raffle winners each day, and sending in sweet notes from students--and it's all thanks to your contributions and efforts! We have more planned for our amazing staff as the week continues. It is not too late to send in a student or parent note to a teacher or staff member.
