Start with Hello Week

This week The Morgan School community participated in "Start With Hello" week.Ā Ā "Start With Hello" is a youth program started by Sandy Hook Promise that teaches students how to prevent social isolation and foster inclusion by taking the simple first step of greeting and connecting with others. We had a spirit week that started off with "Meet and Greet Monday" where students started the day by picking up a name tag and putting their name and a fun fact on it. This was a way to make starting conversations a little easier and a lot of fun! The other spirit days encouraged unity and connection. Both staff and students did a great job participating!

Hats for Hope

Hats for Hope is a fundraising campaign organized by the Tommy Fund for Childhood Cancer. Students and staff wear their favorite, funniest, or most creative/silly hats to school for the day. Participants bring a donation of $1 or more (or donate online) to support the cause. Money raised goes to support local children and families dealing with pediatric cancer treatments. The National Honor Society chose September because it is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Thank you to all who participated at Morgan today!

Sports This Week

🐾 Husky Athletics Spotlight: Leading the Husky Pack

Leadership in athletics isn't always about being the loudest voice or having the title of captain. Sometimes it looks like being the first person to encourage a teammate, holding yourself accountable, helping a younger athlete, staying positive when things don't go as planned, or doing the right thing when nobody's watching.

Our team captains and student-athletes have an important opportunity to shape the culture of their teams. This season, we are celebrating the Huskies who are stepping forward as leaders and recognizing that leadership is something everyone can demonstrate. Our fall team captains recently came together for our Captains Council, creating an opportunity for student leaders from across our athletic programs to connect, share ideas, discuss leadership, and think intentionally about how they can positively influence their teams and teammates.

The goal isn't simply to have leaders on our teams—it is to help every student understand that they have the ability to positively influence the people around them.
