Morningside Elementary School

We hope our panthers will continue reading over the summer. This flyer includes some fun reading opportunities from community businesses. The Perry P***c library will be open and they have a wonderful summer reading program.

The Houston County School Nutrition Program will continue operations this summer, offering meals free of charge to children ages 18 and under. Children do not need to be enrolled in the Houston County School District to receive meals.

There will be three ways for families to participate in the Summer Meals Program. Daily walk-in meal service will be provided at two school locations, vans will serve meals in eligible neighborhoods, and three sites will offer a weekly meal pack pick up service.

For more information including dates, times, locations and questions, visit www.hcbe.net/snpsummermeals.

Great things happen at Morningside! Mrs. Jenkin's class did a fun lesson on AI today. Mr. Carrier our CIS helped students look at images to determine what was real vs. what is AI. They then created their own AI prompt to try to match a provided image. They had fun testing themselves to see who could get AI to create the closest image.

If your student will not be returning to Morningside next school year due to homeschooling or moves outside of our school zone please come fill out a form in the front office. (This does not apply to 5th graders being promoted to middle school unless there is also an address change out of our zone).

Ms. Castillo brought some delicious homemade cookies for teacher appreciation week. These cookies were divine and packaged so beautifully. The teachers were very excited about this special treat!

Congratulations to 5th grader Kendall Mason on being named Kiwanis Student of the Year.

Kendall was with student council, so his parents accepted the award in his behalf.

We are so proud of his hard work this year.

We had delicious homemade egg rolls provided to our staff for teacher appreciation week. They went too fast and we didn't get pictures!! Thank you to the Tran family for this special treat!
