PTO makes a generous donation to the 4th and 5th grades

At last Wednesdays school board meeting, members of the Morrisville PTO made a donation to the 4th and 5th grade classes. These items were donated because when the 4th and 5th grades were moved up to the IS/HS there was no outside play equipment for the children to use at recess. Thanks to last years fundraising efforts the children now have outside play equipment to use at recess. This was not the PTO's responsibility, but with planning and forsight they were able to make this donation. This is the type of parent/community involvement that Morrisville needs. Great job ladies.

The board majority missed yet another opportunity. If they had planned and used some forward thinking they could have made the transition for the kids a more positive experience. Instead they shuffled the kids like cattle with no planning for the childrens needs. Yet another example of how "stay on track" has let the children down. Again this is a fact that the "stay on track" candidates cannot dispute.
