Happy Friday Morton Families,


Another month in the books!  Thank you to all of the parent volunteers who helped chaperone the advisory bowling field trips this week!  The kids had a wonderful bonding time within their advisories and came together as a community and had lots of fun!  And just as a friendly reminder,  attendance to these events are dependent on behavioral expectations set out by our administration.  

On to February!  We have lots of opportunities for all of you to get involved and make the MAGIC happen!

With gratitude,

Rebecca Lupardo & Corinne Moreno-Geis

Your PTA Co-Presidents
