Morrison Junior High 8th graders took a field trip to Sauk Valley Community College to experience the various career opportunities in our area. They were able to walk around and talk with many experts about possible career paths, requirements, and descriptions of several different jobs. A big thank you to the ROE 47 and the many businesses for putting on such an amazing event. Post #2

Next Friday, Oct 21 at 6:30pm, MHS will honor Senior athletes from Football, Pons, Cheer, Band, Golf, Trapshooting, Girls' Swimming, and Cross Country, prior to the start of the football game. Participants and their families are asked to report at 6:20 to line up. Seniors who have not yet submitted their information are asked to check their email for the link.
The outside camera for the NFHS network is not functioning at this time. There are a couple of problems and a new camera has been ordered. It will not be delivered in time for the last few football games of the season. For Saturday's game the athletic boosters have offered to use their Facebook page or a youtube channel to view the game. I am including two separate links to use on Saturday, as this is trial and error for right now but one of the two will have this weekends game.
