Rocket Review
Week of November 15, 2018
Short Week Next Week
Thanksgiving has arrived faster than ever before. Each year, our school year seems to speed up as we move through the year. Perhaps it is because we are so busy with the many things we do at Morgan throughout the school year that makes the time move so quickly!
As we enter Thanksgiving week, this is a special time of year to share with extended family or spend time together as a family. Whether you are traveling together, welcoming family or friends home, or just spending time together, this long weekend is a good opportunity to slow down and enjoy time with your kids.
I wish all of our Morgan families a Happy Thanksgiving holiday, safe travels and hope you create fun, family memories together!
Have a great week!
Mrs. Lasky

Morgan Lunch Monitors
Morgan continues to look for additional support during the lunch hour. While our building is allocated a certain amount of paid EduStaff lunch monitors, we can take additional support in the form of volunteers. Students really enjoying seeing their parent/grandparent/aunt/uncle at school during the lunch time helping in the lunchroom or walking around the playground with the kids.
If you are interested in becoming a paid lunch monitor, please click on link below to start an application with EduStaff. EduStaff certified lunch monitors are paid an hourly rate each day they work. EduStaff employees can also complete additional, free, online training sessions and become substitute paraprofessionals for additional paid hours of work.
Morgan also takes volunteers with a current background check on file. If you filled out a Volunteer Sheet within the past few years, you should be able to volunteer for field trips, classroom help and lunch supervision. If you are unsure about your volunteer status, please contact the Main Office and Sharon or Melissa can check for you: 586-797-5800.
If you are interested in volunteering during the lunch hour, which runs from 11:30 AM until 12:15 PM each day, please contact Melissa in the main office and let her know what days you are available to volunteer. Grandparents/aunts/uncles/neighbors are all welcome once we have a background check on file.
If you have any questions, please call Morgan at 586-797-5800 or email Mrs. Lasky at sue.lasky@uticak12.org.
Morgan Annual Mitten Tree Donations
Morgan Families,
In the spirit of this holiday season, Morgan’s Student Council will be participating in the Toys for Tots program. We will be gathering new, unwrapped toys for children (age range: newborn to 17 yrs. old). If you are interested in donating an unwrapped toy, student council will be collecting them from Nov. 20-Dec. 13th. The Toys for Tots boxes will be located in each classroom. The class with the most toys donated, will earn a pizza party. On Thursday, Dec. 14th, we are scheduled with the U.S. Marines for a special pick up of the toys. Thank you so much for your support!
Happy Holidays,
Morgan’s Student Council
