Morrill Schools District COVID situation continues to be stable. However the region had an upsurge in cases and hospitalizations over the past week. The Morrill district risk factor is a 2.3 out of 4 on the risk dial. Only three districts in the panhandle are lower than we are on the risk dial: Big Springs 1.8, Hemingford and Harrison are both at 2.0. We need to keep vigilant with our mask wearing and social distancing as in order to keep kids in school. Many are growing weary of the mask wearing; I understand, it is fatiguing to wear a mask all day at school or the entire time we are at games or wrestling meets. Please remember the reason we are doing this as a school is so that all kids can remain in school (and activities), every day, all year.

10:00 late start tomorrow, 2-8-2021 for all students infant - 12th grades, due to very cold temperatures and blowing snow tonight. Buses run accordingly - No Breakfast tomorrow.

Miss Kelsey and Miss Kyla's class are becoming yoga experts! They are learning all sorts of new poses. The class does yoga every week to teach kids about the importance of stretching and exercising! The teachers also use this time to teach their students positional words (behind, in front of, beside, etc.). What a fun classroom experience!

Miss Kelsey's class just wrapped up their pet unit! They talked all about pets and how to take care of them in their classroom. Students were allowed to bring in their own pets from home as a show and tell. At the end of the unit, Dr. Skavdahl, a veterinarian, came and spoke to the class. He brought a stuffed puppy for the kids to examine. He let them all hear a heartbeat with his stethoscope. Dr. Skavdahl also let each child use a syringe to give the puppy medicine. It was a great experience for all the students! Did you know, Miss Kelsey has class pets? They have two guinea pigs: Little Guinea and Peanut Butter!

Our toddlers are having lots of fun this holiday season! They have a felt tree in their classroom that they get to decorate. They have also been playing with gingerbread playdough and painting. Our whole building even received a very special visit from Santa on Friday!

Each one of our preschoolers received a very special present from Toys for Tots! They were sent home in your child's backpacks today. A huge thank you to Morrill Police Department and Dollar General!
