What a week!!!! Teacher appreciate capped off with field day! So many people to thank. Thank you to all the field day planners and volunteers!!!! Specifically Jordan Jones, Grae Morris, Shannon Howarth, Mark Embree, and Viktorija Gordon. Without the support of a PE teacher they pulled off our best field day yet.

Thank you to everyone who made our staff feel appreciated and loved this past week, and every week throughout the school year. In a time where public education feels less valued than ever, our community consistently lets us know that it MATTERS, you value and support the Morehead Staff. Special thanks to Amy Wilson, Christine Blaisdell, Gabe Yapuncich and Alex Hurdle for organizing and distributing items throughout the week. Also special thanks to our PTA who always answers the call to support our staff and students.

🥞PTA Full Body Meeting☕

& State of the School Address

UPDATE! Friday, May 22, 8 am

Morehead Cafeteria

We are due for a full body PTA meeting before the end of the school year! Unfortunately, we have to shift from the originally scheduled date of May 15 due to schedule conflicts.

The main order of business will be voting on new officers for the 2026-27 school year. But Principal Tyler Steketee and PTA President Gabe Yapuncich will also be making pancakes while answering hard-hitting questions from the community. We need at least 25 members to stop by, so please come if you are able! Additional details and formal agenda will follow.

 

😎Join the 2026-27 PTA Board😎

The PTA will need energetic and enthusiastic board members next school year! No experience is necessary (trust me, I've got none). This is a volunteer-run organization, so help make the Morehead PTA reflect the values of the community. 

If you have any interest, please complete this form and/or email moreheadpta@gmail.com or complete the survey available on the flyers posted to the school doors.Any interest in communications or helping with fundraising is highly desirable!
