T-1 week till Winter Break!  Hang in there we've got this!


We had an AMAZING Winter Showcase performance from the 7th & 8th Grade music majors yesterday evening.  It was a wonderful celebration of their hard work and we left feeling the holiday spirit!  We wanted to thank those of you that attended Wednesday's PTA meeting.  Some of you voiced some concerns and had some great ideas.  We want you to know we heard you and are working with the administration, teachers and staff to create a more respectful, communicative and productive environment for everyone.  Make sure you ALL attend next months PTA meeting to stay informed and see what's coming next! 


Please don't forget to contribute to the Teachers Holiday Fund!

Teacher Appreciation
Teacher Appreciation!

Deadline: TODAY!

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 TODAY, so kindly donate now.  If you don't use Venmo please email the PTA@75morton.org for alternative contribution options.
