Third Graders have been studying weather in Science. They became engineers of their own design that could potentially help with Wyoming road conditions. They then received a visit from WYDOT! The students were able to take a tour around the snowplows, ask questions regarding their own designs to see if they had any advice to offer, and then they were able to try out the driver's seat while taking a look at the cab. Thank you, WYDOT for such a great demonstration!
It is time for our community to come together and support those in need!
On December 17, 2024, Barbara Clapp and her twin sister Beverly Raymond were involved in a severe car crash. These sisters have been longtime residents of our community and graduated from Morton High School almost 67 years ago! Both sisters sustained multiple broken bones from their ankles to the face that have required multiple surgeries. Along with the broken bones, Barb also sustained a punctured lung. Bev was recently released to continue rehabilitation, however Barb still remains in the hospital and continues rehabilitation. Both sisters face months of recovery and rehabilitation. We hope to be a support to these long time community members in helping to offset their medical expenses. Oh, did we mention they turn 85 on the 22nd of January!
Please join us in supporting Barb and Bev through after school activities listed below as well as through our online auction.
Please contact the School at 307-856-7970 to donate items or for any other questions.
