It was a wild and windy Sectional for the Runnin' Braves! Morris XC walked away from Friday's races with some great finishes and two State qualifiers!
In the girl's 2-mile, the Lady Braves ran in the toughest conditions they had experienced all year, as temperatures dropped and the wind and rain picked up right as teams got to the line. The girl's squad is poised for a breakout 2024 season and hopes to push for a team qualification next fall. Wonderful work this year, girls - your coaches are so proud of what you accomplished this year!
The clouds parted for the boy's 2-mile race, and the Braves took advantage! An excellent start paid off for the gentlemen, as the boy's squad earned a phenomenal team finish and two State qualifiers: Ryan Resar of ICS and Patrick McCarthy of Saratoga! Resar and McCarthy look to medal in the 4A Boys State race at Maxwell Park in Bloomington-Normal this coming Saturday! Go, Braves!
The Morris Braves XC team has had a season full of amazing meets, great races, broken records, medals, and tons of new personal records! After capping off the season with a run to Dave's Dawgs, the girl's and boy's squads are poised to run their best at Sectionals for a shot at State! Congrats to our Sectional runners and to all of our amazing athletes from MGS, Saratoga, Nettle Creek, and ICS on a tremendous season full of growth! Go Braves!

💛🌈Friday, September 15th, was Dot Day, based off of the book, The Dot, written by Peter H. Reynolds. Prek-8th grade students as well as staff helped to create this colorful reminder at the front of our school - to be brave and to try new things! Many thanks to our lovely art teachers, Mrs. Alderman and Mrs. Olson, for creating the vision for this beautiful reminder. ☺️

Miss Waide’s PreK class had a blast💥recently making Friendship Salad! ☺️The bowl was their ‘school,’ the yogurt was their ‘nice friends,’ the blueberries were their ‘kind words’ and the strawberries were their ‘best effort.’ 🤗 They decided not to add the rotten banana or ‘mean friends, mean words, and not trying’ to the salad. 😉🙌🏻
Congratulations to our recent Golden Ticket recipients! Keep up the great work! 🎫⭐️👏🏻🥳🙌🏻

Morris Grade School Parents- At approximately 12:40 p.m., we received word that there was a strong gas smell in the kitchen area. Out of precaution, we evacuated the building and the Morris Fire Department did an investigation. They gave us the all-clear, and students have returned to their normal day. Our students and staff did an amazing job following instructions. We want to thank the Morris Fire Department for the quick and effective response.
