Halloween parties will take place on October 31st. Guests will check into the gymnasium at 2:00 p.m. The Halloween parade will begin at 2:30 p.m. Halloween parties will begin immediately following the parade. We encourage all of our guests to actively participate in the parties. With so many exciting things happening, it would be awesome to have additional help and support from family members attending the event.
Classroom teachers will be emailing you a sing up sheet via Google Form. Please take the time to sign up if you plan to attend the event on Halloween.
Reminders
Please continue to follow the routines and procedures for drop off and pick up at Morton. Thanks to your cooperation, all students are picked up at the end of the day within 10-12 minutes on average.
Safety patrol provides assistance on school grounds for our students who walk to and from school.
Please use extreme caution at all intersections. We have many students walking home after school.
Student Council News
*October 10-15-Vote for your favorite pumpkin-Student Council members and some staff members have been painting pumpkins. For $.25, students, staff, and even parents can vote on your favorites. Students will be able to vote in class. Parents, you can vote when you check in for conferences. Vote as many times as you would like. The money collected will be split between Operation Super Jack and JDRF. There will be a name drawn from each pumpkin’s bag. That person will get a poster from the Book Fair. The winning pumpkin’s creators will receive a prize. After conferences, the pumpkins will be on display at Hy-Vee on 180th and Pacific.
