Here is information on Wednesday's Fall Sports Celebration.
October 27th - 31st is our annual Red Ribbon Week! We will have special dress-up days and learning opportunities to teach students the importance of saying NO and standing up to bullying!
Our hearts are heavy as we remember and honor the life of Dakota Welch. To support the Welch family, we ask all students to wear blue to school tomorrow and for everyone attending the Morris Community High School Football game this Friday, October 24th, to also wear blue. If you wish to make a donation in Dakota's memory, you may do so at the Community Foundation of Grundy County: https://cfgrundycounty.fcsuite.com/erp/donate/create/fund?funit_id=2452.
Thank you so much to the Clean-Up Crew for another successful afternoon! The kids do a great job, and I love seeing them take pride in their school. #teachmorris

On Friday, October 3, our talented 8th grade band students had an unforgettable experience as they traveled to MCHS to join the high school band for the night’s football game! They had the chance to march and perform during MCHS's pregame festivities and then played alongside the high school band in the stands, adding their energy to the game’s atmosphere. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to get a taste of high school band life and show off their skills!
