HERE'S TO FRIDAY!  Yay!  We made it!  


Please make arrangements to check out the Winter Showcase performance next week by the Instrumental and Vocal majors. The Arts teachers have put together a really beautiful musical evening for your enjoyment.  It shouldn't be missed! Thursday, Dec 15th at 6pm. 


Unfortunately, due to the lack of interest, we have postponed the "Taste of Home" community potluck dinner to another time in the school year.  We understand that the month of December is a busy time for all and hope to schedule the event at a more convenient date.


Please read below to see what is coming up this month and don't forget to contribute to the Teachers Holiday Fund!  


Enjoy the weekend!

Teacher Appreciation
Teacher Appreciation!

Deadline: December 16th

From Teachers to Counselors to Security Officers and beyond, it takes a community...

We value ALL of our 75Morton staff and want to celebrate them at the holidays; they contribute greatly to our community and do so much for our students throughout the year. And for that, we'd like to acknowledge their invaluable impact on our kids lives and contribute back. 

Please consider participating in the Staff Holiday Collection by making a donation to a collective pool of funds to be distributed to our staff on behalf of all Morton families. All donations are voluntary and confidential (collected and maintained through our PTA Treasury and Family Giving team).  We will be closing the fund on December 16th, so kindly donate before then.
