Help raise money for Australia

About 1 billion animals have died in the Australia wildfires. Help Morton raise money for recovery by doing Penny Wars! Each Academic Leadership will have a milk jug in their classroom for any student that would like to bring in bills or coins. The Academic Leadership with the most money in their jug by March 16 will get a Starbucks treat. For questions, email Carla Trisko.

Track season approaching

Track tryouts will be March 9, 10, and 11 from 4 to 6 p.m. Students need a current KHSAA physical to try out (it is a new form this year, and this is different than a 6^th grade physical) and at least a 2.5 GPA in the third quarter to be eligible for the Morton track team.
