Morgan Elementary

Hello Morgan Elementary Parents and Families!

We are preparing for Morgan Elementary's Fall Festival and are looking for volunteers! The Fall Festival will be held on Monday, September 15th from 5:30pm-7:30pm.

There are set up, takedown, and game/food attendant slots. There are two volunteer sessions during the course of the festival- if you are able to sign up for both sessions, that's great! If not, you can sign up for one session and enjoy the festival activities with your child for the other hour.
Volunteers will be provided with a wristband (10 tickets) for your child to use at the fall festival!

Please use this link to view the available volunteer opportunities:

Thank you to our Sam Morgan Elementary Student Council and Jr. Hope Squad for putting out our flags in Remembrance of September 11th. Their group leaders, our Administrative Intern Mrs. Ewell, and our Facilities Manager Lucas Wangsgaard helped students as they put out flags and led a group discussion on the significance of this day. Teachers were asked to share a message with their class about the meaning behind September 11th as well. We at Morgan Elementary honor the lives of those who were lost, those who sacrificed their lives for others, and stand United in the hope for a future of Peace.

For over 50 years, the National PTA has directed the Reflections Program, providing opportunities for students to express themselves and gain confidence through the arts. Each year over 300,000 entries are submitted nationally.
