Morse Families,

What an incredible way to end the second trimester! Thank you to all the families who came out today to support our Jog-a-Thon and Lunch with a Loved One event. It was wonderful to see so many of you cheering on our students and creating special memories together.

A huge thank you to our incredible PTA for organizing such an amazing Jog-a-Thon! We can't wait to hear how much money was raised by our students. Your support and generosity make a huge impact on our school community.

Read Across America Week was wonderful too! Thank you for continuing to encourage reading and fluency at home. Your support helps instill a lifelong love of learning in our students.

We look forward to creating more Morse memories with your families in the months ahead!

Morse Families,

Our annual PTA Jog-a-Thon is scheduled for Friday, March 7th! Collect pledges using https://pledgestar.com/Morse/. This is PTA’s main fundraiser of the year and helps to pay for field trips, assemblies, classroom supplies, and begin raising money to replace our aging marquee.

Just a reminder that Friday March 7th is a big day! We have our Jog-a-Thon, Lunch with a Loved One, and a 12:45 dismissal! Please see the schedule linked below for details. We look forward to a fun-filled day!

Students will begin training for Kids Run the OC during PE and recess, gradually accumulating over 25 miles of fun activity. They will complete their final mile at the Kids Run the OC on May 3, 2025, held alongside The OC Marathon finish line events at the OC Fair and Event Center. Register below! Early registration pricing ends March 7 (extended)!
