A voice vote will take place at the April 13 General PTO meeting to be held at 7 p.m. at the Abbott Sports Complex. Please plan to attend this important meeting to let your vote be heard. Anne Loudon will automatically assume office of President, and Sarah Bienka will automatically assume the office of Treasurer. The nominees are: President Elect: Stacie Arndt Vice President of Communication: Cristi Lemke Vice President of Technology: Troy Thompson Vice President of Volunteer Coordination: Jill Eicher Secretary: Lynnette Olson Assistant Treasurer: Theresa Puente Congratulations to each of these parents on the nomination. We are pleased to have this wonderful group step forward to lead our school to new heights. If you have questions about this slate or the process, please contact Anne Loudon, Nominating Committee Chair. The Bylaws Review Committee, consisting of Jill Eicher, Anne Loudon, Amy O’Neill, and Sarah Bienka, spent considerable time reviewing the PTO’s current bylaws to ensure they were up-to-date with our current practices. Many of the corrections centered around the changes in names of the Executive Board, such as Vice President to President Elect. Each officer’s stated duties were thoroughly examined. The fall and spring general PTO meetings were clarified so that during the fall meeting, the PTO budget will be voted upon; and during the spring meeting, the slate of new officers will be voted upon. The bylaws will be voted on at our spring general meeting on Thursday, April 13 at 7 p.m. at the Abbott Sports Center. If you have any questions regarding the changes, please contact Jill Eicher. | Calendar  Click for our online PTO Calendar.

Help Save from Home Box Tops Due Soon  Teacher Appreciation Week (March 3rd - 7th) Please note that this week is a time for us all to recognize the efforts of our children’s teachers, and to express our sincere appreciation for what they do each and every day for the sake of our children.

We will also be providing a small gift to each of them, to thank them for their time, talents, and dedication to providing a quality educational foundation for our children. Morley is very blessed to have such talented, caring faculty and we thank them for all that they do!
 Food Tasting Comes to an End
There was a delay in our ‘unusual food tasting’ last week due to non-delivery of our star fruit. Thus, earlier this week (on March 1) our children finished their last tasting for this segment of our Fuel Up To Play for 60 Grant. Long-Range Planning Committee Begins Meetings for this Year If you have ever wondered if PTO is right for you, please take our unscientific survey and see! |
