Thank you to Dana McCoy for spending the morning with the 6th graders and sharing stories, photos, and artifacts from her Rotary trips! The students loved hearing about how she helped dig wells and administer polio vaccines in Africa and Costa Rica!
Tonight's baseball and softball games at Amboy are still on. The only adjustment is both teams will only play varsity games. Amboy currently does not have enough players to field both levels.

Parents and Fans of Morrison High School Baseball. Because the high school field at the Morrison Sports Complex has not yet dried out, we have been unable to get the basic maintenance done. We are checking the field daily and the mud in the infield is about 1 inch deep still. Every step taken on the infield creates an inch deep depression. This renders the field unplayable. Because we do not have the proper materials to dry the field out we are unfortunately at the mercy of mother nature. That being said, at this time all scheduled home games will be played at the opponents field. Hopefully by our scheduled home game on March 28 we will be able to play here. We will do everything in our power to make that happen. Thank you for your patience, Josh Robbins.
Here are some photos from our recent Read Across America Day on March 2 at Southside. This day is also Dr. Seuss birthday. #PajamaDay
