We are sad to announce the passing of Armanette Fannin. She was the 97 year old mother of Sue Murphy, who was a long time lunch worker at District 54. Armanette and Sue were the kind ones who started our milk account/fund. Their donations started as a cookie fund to buy cookies for those who could not afford them. As school food regulations changed over the years, the fund morphed into the milk account for those who needed milk with their sack lunch from home. In her honor, we are renaming this fund the Fannin/Murphy Milk Fund. Money will be used for kids that cannot afford milk with their sack lunch at school. Donations may be sent to the school office. Thank you for helping us honor these kind women!

Attention 5th Grade Parents! Don’t forget tonight is our Beginning Band Instrument Night! Our Beginning Band Instrument Night will be held today (9/2) from 6pm-8pm in the Morris Grade School Band Room. You may enter through Door #5. You do not need to stay the full two hours. You may arrive any time within the 6pm-8pm window. This is a great opportunity for the students to try out up to 3 instruments they are interested in while working with representatives from Quinlan & Fabish Music Company. After the students have tried the instruments, you and your child can immediately meet with a Quinlan & Fabish representative to sign up for that instrument with their rent-to-own program and purchase the supplies for that instrument. If you cannot attend, but still want your student involved in Band, please contact me at mwozniak@morris54.org I look forward to seeing you all tonight! Musically yours, Mr. Matt Wozniak

It's Yearbook Time! 😁 Prices increase after 9/30. Go to www.treering.com/validate and enter the school passcode. See below for more information!
