Dear Morton Families

The upcoming Thanksgiving holiday is next week! Before we get caught up in all the craziness and excitement the holidays bring, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on how grateful we are to be back in school the way it should be. It's so wonderful seeing teachers and students in the classroom, field trips happening and in-person community events!

We hope you can take a moment and pause to think about what or who you are grateful for in our school community and throw it up on our Giving Thanks Padlet. Signed or anonymous. We will share the messages at our Friendsgiving Pie & Cider on Monday and all throughout the week next week.

We hope to see you at our family friendly 3rd Annual Friendsgiving Pie & Cider open house this Monday, Nov 21st from 3:30-6pm. Please RSVP!

With gratitude,

Rebecca Lupardo & Corinne Moreno-Geis

Your PTA Co-Presidents
