What's New From Your Morse PTO

WISDOM OF THE WEEK
"In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy.” -- William Blake

2 HOURS OF POWER VOLUNTEER CHALLENGE
Help Still Needed
​*Due to the advanced planning required of our spring events, if Chairs are not secured for Trivia Night, Mother/Son, or Daddy/Daughter by DECEMBER 3, the Morse PTO Board will vote on cancelling the events.
Please consider taking lead on one of these, or grab a friend to co-chair the event. The Morse PTO board will support you and serve as a resource during the planning process if you need it.  If you cannot chair, please consider signing up to help us fill the committees. Get more details about these needs or sign up here. 

​Keep the Morse Marksman Monday Tradition Going
​
We are still looking for parents who can volunteer one Monday morning to don the Marksman mascot suit and kick a week of learning off right! Visit the Sign Up Genius to pick your Monday or get more information about volunteering.

DON'T FORGET
COMING SOON:  Student Directory
One of the perks of being a Morse PTO member is receiving the Student Directory. Because Morse teachers and staff cannot give out students' contact information, the Student Directory is the ONLY way you can access students' emails, addresses and phone numbers. Pay your PTO Membership fee today to snag this invaluable resource coming soon! 

Book Fair Is Now OPEN
This year the Morse Elementary book fair will be a virtual event. Click on Follett Book Fair link starting now through November 15th to shop for all of the favorite book-lovers in your life.  Grab a gift for the holidays, or encourage your students to shop for a sibling or friend.  Remember that Morse receives 25% of purchases back in rewards to support literacy.

GOOD TO KNOW
Thank You For Supporting Teachers And Staff Through Take Stock in Morse
We'd like to extend a BIG THANK YOU to those who donated to Take Stock in Morse. Almost $4,000 in grants were awarded to staff just last week, and they are very excited to receive the supplies, equipment, technology, and subscriptions to enhance student learning. See a complete list of approved 2021 Take Stock in Morse grants here. 

Continue to Shop for Morse this Holiday Season
You may have seen the signs for Hy-Vee receipt collection in the car line a few weeks ago. Remember that you can turn in these receipts to the office at anytime, but we will put the signs out as a reminder once a month. Hy-Vee's Dollars for Scholars program is just one way that you can shop for Morse.  Other programs include:
  • Box Tops for Education
  • Amazon Smile
  • Shutterfly
Click here to learn more about the ways you can help Morse during your holiday shopping. 

Spirit Wear Shipping Delays
Thanks to all who ordered spirit wear. Due to shipping issues beyond our control, our order has been delayed. We have been informed that our order should arrive in approximately two weeks. We appreciate your patience and will get your Morse gear to you as soon as it arrives! 

Morse PTO is Now on the Gram
Stay hip, connected, and informed by following Morse PTO on Instagram. Search MorsePTO or click here.  We are straight fire. (Did we use that right?)
