Dear 75 Morton Parents, 


Brrr! We hope you enjoyed the snow last week, and stayed warm this weekend! Speaking of which, the 8th Grade Snow Ball is Friday, February 9th from 5:30-7:30pm - just three weeks away - and we need volunteers to make the event amazing for our kids! See below for more details!


A hearty congratulations to Ben Guirovich and Bee Roy, who represented 75 Morton in the Manhattan Spelling Bee last week where they competed against 57 spellers from 28 schools! We are so proud of both of our spellers and wish Bee lots of luck in the next round - the New York City Spelling Bee! We also want to send a huge shoutout of thanks to Donna who has wrapped the whole experience in endless enthusiasm and excitement. We are so lucky to have her supporting the kids.
