The Lion's Roar
News from Morrill Elementary School - September Edition
A Note from the Principal
We have had such an awesome start to our school year! Thank you for all of the ways you helped us to adjust to our school routine. We kicked off the year with a fun teacher reveal and have been engaging our students every day since. We have spent a lot of time over the past few weeks teaching expectations for learning and behavior in order to help all of us be respectful, responsible and safe. We hope you can take a minute to check out some of our recent events and as always, please don't hesitate to call or stop by if you have any concerns.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lackey
Run Lions Run!
We had a lot of support from the High School Cross Country team who helped us learn the course and cheered us on the first week. Kids from Kindergarten through Sixth Grade have joined in the fun along with some parents and teachers. Stop by to watch, cheer, or join these hard-working kiddos! We are so proud of them!
Legacy Lunch!
Please check in at the elementary office before heading to the cafeteria. You can pay for the adult meal at the cafeteria. Thanks so much for taking time to join us for lunch!
Join the PTO!
Check out the new Gaga Ball Pit purchased by the PTO! Thank you to the Frerichs family for helping with the installation. It is a huge hit for kids of all ages!
What Den are You In?
Four dens make up our Morrill Elementary Family...they are Superbia, Kiburi, Duma, and Fierte'. Each student and staff member in our school belongs to one of these groups. New students and staff members will be sorted into a den in the coming month. Our Kindergarten kids will also join a den later in the year, when they are a little more comfortable with being in a larger group, away from their teacher. 🙂
Den Day!
Our first den day was held recently and we had a great time! Follow our social media pages for updates as we share our den activities!
