Every year the PTO holds a breakfast for our 8th grade graduates. The PE teachers also create a memory slideshow of their years at Morris Grade School. This year several students and teachers surprised their fellow classmates with a special song as well, “Just the Way You Are”, by Bruno Mars. ☺️

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest”...wonderfully said by Benjamin Franklin. We are so proud of the hard work and dedication so many of our 8th grade students have upheld during their years at Morris Grade School. They were honored along with other area school students at the Honors Banquet, held at Saratoga School Tuesday night. Congratulations!

1st grade surprised staff last week with special gifts! They made balls of sunshine to fill our gray days with happy ones when needed! Thanks to first grade for making our days brighter!



Congratulations to 7th grader Patrick Stroup who will be representing D54 at State next weekend in Discus
No act of kindness goes unnoticed...from the first grader who smiled and said hello this morning, brightening our day, to the refreshing glass of lemonade made with love from our Life Skills class, amongst many others!
