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!!

Seismic Tower Challenge Winners in 7th grade
This fall, Mr. Lawrence's 7th Grade Science classes have been wrapping up their geology unit with an all-time favorite lab: the Seismic Tower Challenge! Throughout the lab, groups research the various methods and techniques modern day engineers use to make structures that are earthquake-resistant, and then design and build their own! Groups compete within their classes to see which structures can stay standing the longest, as the seismic waves gain magnitude with every passing round.
The newest 7th Grade champions have been crowned: Ryla H, Rose G, Stella E, and Maverick M! Congratulations and well done to all groups!
