From The Desk of Mr. Anderson...
I just wanted to take the time to thank you all for a wonderful first "half" of the school year! We have so many great things happening at Morris, too many to tell in this short paragraph or two. I am very proud of our students and their efforts to be Bondurant's BEST on a regular basis. I had the opportunity to tell each and every one of them that throughout the last week! I am very proud of our staff and the time and effort that they put in to making Morris a great place for kids!
As we get ready to return in 2018, I am excited to see how much more our students grow and how hard they continue working at being great citizens. Thank you, parents, for all you do in helping us work with your children every day! It is important work and we know it isn't always easy! Thank you for working with us!
Happy Holidays, Hope you had a Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
Mr. Anderson

Day 100 is quickly approaching.
Can you believe it??? That means that we are halfway through the school year. The children are learning and growing so much. You may ask, “What can I do to help my child be successful through the rest of the year?”
Here are a few things that we would suggest when practicing at home.
