Family Game Night 2025 was a ton of fun at Morrill Elementary!
Thank you to all of the Lion families that were able to attend. We loved seeing you playing games together. We have some very competitive students & family members when it comes to board games!
A special thanks to Matt Harris at Platte Valley Bank in Morrill for donations to our door prizes and CJ McCabe at Banner Capital for donating popcorn for our event. Shout out to all of our staff that helped get everything set up & cleaned up. We are so grateful we are able to have a community that supports our school & students.



The Morrill Lions Basketball team & Coach Lofink joined us for Morning Meeting the other day. They were excited to share about how their season is going with our students. The team also gave our Lions some good advice on how to be better students at school and better athletes on the court.
We want to wish the team lots of luck tonight! We'll be cheering loud!
GO BIG BLUE!
💙🦁🏀💛
