🎒 Today's the day--the new school year has arrived! Welcome back, Morse families (Grades 1-5)! And a very warm welcome to families who are new to the Morse School!

🧺 At the Morse, we like to kick off the school year with our annual FMS Welcome Back Picnic. It's a casual evening of catching up with old friends and connecting with new ones. Bring your own picnic dinner, have food delivered to the playground, or just stop by to say hi.

🎟 Friends of the Morse School won't be providing food, but we WILL be providing lots of fun activities! A bounce house, a raffle, and much more!

🗓 Friday, September 11, 5-7 PM

Yesterday, FMS kicked off the new school year with one of our favorite annual traditions: a Welcome Back Breakfast to celebrate and thank the incredible teachers and staff who make the Morse School such a special place. 💛💙

Huge THANK YOU to for donating a generous spread of delectable pastries, bagels, and coffee--and for their continued support of the Morse community. 🥐🥯☕

And cheers to all of the FMS volunteers who pitched in to make sure the Morse staff returned to a delicious breakfast and a warm welcome. ⭐

It's the end of an era! The one-and-only Ms. Elaine is retiring.

Ms. Elaine, we'll miss your impeccable comedic timing, your feisty spirit, and--most of all--your big heart. Thank you for taking care of Morse kids and families and for giving so much of yourself to our community.

Friends, come out and celebrate Ms. Elaine TODAY at Magazine Beach, 1-3 PM. Rain or shine!

🍉 Let the summer begin! Toady is the last day of the school year--and what a year it's been!

Before we sign off for the summer, a few last reminders from your friends at FMS:

🔔 Today is a four-hour school day. Kiddos will be dismissed at 12:15 PM.

🎒 Cambridge Public Schools will reopen before Labor Day in the fall:

🔔 Tues, Sept 1: First day of school for students in grades 1 through 12.

🔔 Thurs, Sept 3: First day of school for students in preschool and kindergarten.

❤️ Whether your family will be back at the Morse this fall or you're heading off on a new adventure, we hope you have a great summer. Until next time, friends.

📚 Calling all Morse School bookworms!

Here's a friendly reminder to return all books to the Morse School Library before the last day of school (tomorrow!).

If your child has any overdue books, you should have received a message from Morse Librarian Ms. Pennell.

Don't sweat it if you find an overdue library book this summer. The school libraries don't charge fines, and you can return books to any Cambridge Public Library.
