Dear Families, Apologies some of this is duplicated as I hit the send button yesterday TOO SOON!

Happy Diwali Everyone!

Diwali is the Indian “festival of lights”—a holiday that celebrates the triumph of good over evil or light over darkness. Over the past couple of weeks the 75 Morton community, staff, administration, teachers and students have all come together and triumphed. Bringing light to so many new students and their families. It is only fitting that we all take a moment to celebrate together our accomplishments and continue to step up, rise up and support our fellow Morton newbies.

We have a packed calendar of events and need all of your support, time and contributions to make it all happen!

Make sure you MARK YOUR CALENDARS & / or subscribe to the Morton Calendar here.

Make a Donation to 75 Morton Today!

NYC’s DOE Budget does not cover 100% of the school’s operating budget. Through contributions from our families, the PTA raises and funds the portion of the budget that helps set our school apart from others. And we need your help, now more than ever, to ensure we rebuild the breadth of enrichment programs, activities, resources and equipment that creates for our kids the magical experience of our amazing school.
