🥇❄️ Olympic Fun in First Grade! ❄️🥇

Our first graders kicked off the excitement of the Olympic Games in the most creative way, indoor “ice skating” with wax paper! 🧊✨

With paper under their feet and big smiles on their faces, students glided across the floor while learning about the Olympic spirit of teamwork, perseverance, and trying your best.

Such a fun (and slippery!) way to celebrate the start of the Games! 🌟

🏐 8th Grade Night – Volleyball 🏐

Last night we celebrated our amazing 8th grade volleyball players!

Their leadership, hard work, and heart have made a lasting impact on and off the court. We are so proud of the growth you’ve shown and the way you represent our school.

Thank you to our families and fans who came out to make the night extra special!

🤼‍♂️ 8th Grade Night – Wrestling 🤼‍♂️

On February 11th we celebrated our incredible 8th grade wrestlers! 💪

These athletes have put in the hard work, shown true dedication, and represented our program with pride. GO BRAVES!

The Morris Varsity Scholastic Bowl team recorded its first win in the first match of the season on Tuesday vs Yorkville. The game was tied at the half, but then the Morris Braves really came alive and took the lead to win 340 to 260. Great job! The Scholastic Bowl team will play Manhattan on Thursday, and JV will play its first game of the season.

Go BRAVES!

Please join us in congratulating and recognizing Eli for this outstanding accomplishment: Eli was selected out of hundreds of students to be a part of the top state choir. He is the first Morris 54 student to attend state in music as a middle school student! Way to go Eli, we are so proud of you!!

🏀 GAME NIGHT 🏀 Our 8th Grade Boys are back in action TONIGHT as they take on Peotone in the Regional Semi-Final! Win or go home, let’s show up loud! GO BRAVES!

To say these young men represented Morris Grade School and our entire town well would be a massive understatement. You didn't just play a season; you set a standard. While the final result wasn't what you envisioned, the integrity and class you displayed in the face of adversity were truly exemplary. We are bursting with pride, not just for the wins, but for the men you are becoming. This season wasn't the finish line—it was the launchpad. There is an electric sense of anticipation for what this group will achieve next.

To our coaches: thank you for your relentless passion and for molding this team into something special. The future is bright, and it belongs to the Braves!

Go Braves!!
