Dear Morton Families 


Hope you all have a very plentiful, family and friends filled, relaxing Thanksgiving break. 

Don't forget to 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. We will continue to share the messages throughout the week next week. 


With gratitude,

Rebecca Lupardo & Corinne Moreno-Geis

Your PTA Co-Presidents

That is donations giving by families like you. A monetary donation is the easiest and most direct way to contribute to the school. Please click here and give as generously as you are able. Any amount you give will be gratefully received.
