- International Festival
- Providing snacks and drinks at family and community events
- Staff appreciation week
- Family support
- School beautification initiatives
- Special speakers
- and much more (come to a meeting for the infamous money minute)
Volunteering: we need 25 to 35 volunteers to staff the event, keeping students on the course, making sure water is available, helping them around the inevitable giant mud puddles, etc.
The Morse Marathon
The Morse Marathon is an annual school-wide fun run/walk that takes place at Magazine Beach Park along the Charles River. The event, which is organized by parents and teachers, is aimed at promoting fitness and community. It also helps to raise funds for the Friends of the Morse School, a volunteer organization of parents and caregivers that supports enriching learning experiences for the Morse students. Staff and students from every grade level - Preschool through Grade 5 - participate in the event.
The Fall 2023 Morse Marathon was yet another outstanding event! The sun was shining. The music was spinning. Morsels were running, jogging, walking, skipping, and doing cartwheels. Volunteers and parents were cheering. There is really nothing like it. Check out the full recap: Blog post | Instagram reel
Please help us reach this year's fundraising goal of $11,000. Whether $5 or $500, $10 or $1,000, every bit helps. To learn more about the Friends of the Morse School, keep perusing our website!
