It's the end of an era! The one-and-only Ms. Elaine is retiring.

Ms. Elaine, we'll miss your impeccable comedic timing, your feisty spirit, and--most of all--your big heart. Thank you for taking care of Morse kids and families and for giving so much of yourself to our community.

Friends, come out and celebrate Ms. Elaine TODAY at Magazine Beach, 1-3 PM. Rain or shine!

πŸ“š Calling all Morse School bookworms!

Here's a friendly reminder to return all books to the Morse School Library before the last day of school (tomorrow!).

If your child has any overdue books, you should have received a message from Morse Librarian Ms. Pennell.

Don't sweat it if you find an overdue library book this summer. The school libraries don't charge fines, and you can return books to any Cambridge Public Library.

πŸ’– Tomorrow is a big day! It's time to celebrate the one-and-only Ms. Elaine, who will be retiring after this school year.

Friday, June 26, 1-3 PM*
At Magazine Beach
*Right after dismissal on the last day of school.

Organized to say thank you and good luck to Ms. Elaine, this celebration is open to current and former Morse families. Anyone who knows Ms. Elaine knows that while she'll happily engage with us parents, it is the kids being present that will make her smile widest and feel most loved.
