Dear Morse School Community,
This has been a week full of many emotions. Kristin and I are grateful to our staff for the way they have supported students while reminding them that Morse is a safe, inclusive place where they are all loved.
Veterans Day
On today's Live Stream, we highlighted the significance of Veterans Day. A special thank you to Lieutenant Commander Rich Culbert and his children Siena (3rd Grade) and Jack (1st Grade) for sharing their experience as a Military Family. You can see the heart warming video here.
In addition, Cambridge Police Commissioner, Christine Elow, a former Morse Student and Navy Veteran visited the Morse. Several students in grades 3rd-5th asked very engaging questions and she shared her inspirational journey. Our Live Stream viewers were able to see the entire interview this morning. Check out this video produced by Robert Goulston, Director of Communications for the Cambridge Police Department.
Thank you to all the Veterans and their families who make significant sacrifices for our country and freedom.
International Festival & Potluck
The International Festival is an annual celebration of our diverse Morse School community, organized by Friends of the Morse School. It is perhaps the largest gathering of the community each year, featuring a potluck dinner, activities, and live entertainment. Bring a dish to share for the potluck that represents your family and/or culture. Volunteer to help the event run smoothly. Wear traditional clothing that represents your culture. Host a culture table. Participate in various activities, try lots of yummy new foods, and enjoy the entertainment! Reminder that we will have Morse students from ages 3-11 at the event and so we ask that children are supervised by caregivers. Click here to learn more! Please complete a Family Flag to be displayed at the International Festival & Potluck. Please check out the description for more information.
Reporting Periods
The district is doing a review of report cards and determining how often families should receive one in the school year. Your feedback is essential in helping us understand how to best provide information about your child’s academic progress. Your input will help guide the work on CPS Report Cards, this year and beyond. Here is the link: Elementary Report Card Feedback Form. The survey will close on Saturday, November 30, 2024.
Upcoming Events
Have a wonderful weekend.
Sincerely,
Samantha Headley
