Tomorrow, Wednesday, September 30th, is the FINAL DAY of the Morton Zone PTO Canned Food Fundraiser! 💙💛

We need ONE LAST BIG PUSH! Send those canned food items with your students today and tomorrow and help your team finish strong! 💪🥫

🏆 MHS Boys vs. MHS Girls
🏆 MES Boys vs. MES Girls

Remember—the winning teams determine which staff members and principals get PIED IN THE FACE after the Inflatable Race on Friday! 🥧😂

Even better, ALL canned food items collected will be donated to the We Care Food Mission in Morton, helping families right here in our community. ❤️

Bring those cans TOMORROW and let’s see who comes out on top! 🥫🏆💙💛

💙WE WEAR BLUE FOR MRS. ALFORD💙

Today, Morton Elementary proudly wore BLUE to show our love & support for Morton alumna & Lake Elementary teacher, Mrs. Shannon Goss Alford, as she fights against colon cancer.

Our prayers are for strength, healing, comfort, & peace throughout this journey. We hope seeing a sea of blue today serves as a reminder of just how many people are cheering you on & supporting you in this fight.

💙Stay strong, Mrs. Alford! You are loved, you are supported, & you are never alone in this fight💙
