Morristown Elementary School

Parents/Guardians of car riders, please remember to enter the parking lot from the high school parking lot and not from our gym parking lot entrance. That entrance is exit only during drop off and pick up. Thank you.

I can’t believe it is May already. It seems like we just got started. We have some exciting things planned for our last few weeks. Star Lab will be here Monday to teach our students many exciting things about stars, galaxies, and constellations. Marvin Kuhn was a former elementary school science teacher and has presented the Star Lab curriculum for many years. We look forward to learning many interesting facts about outer space from him.

Our last day of school, May 20th, will be bittersweet. We will celebrate the graduation of our kindergarteners and 5th graders, but then must say goodbye to our 5th graders as they move to the jr. high. I know they will be right next door, but it will still be sad not getting to see and talk to them everyday in our elementary hallways.

Thank you so much for all of your kind words and gifts on National Principals’ Day. It was fun seeing the students dressed up as me. I love being a Yellow Jacket.
