Morrison CUSD 6

Congratulations to Morrison’s Fr/Soph Scholastic Bowl team on its first-place finish (among 14 teams) in the Moline High School Butterfield Memorial Bowl on Saturday, Nov. 13. Morrison won its four morning matches and qualified as one of the top four teams eligible to compete in the championship rounds. After defeating Fr/Soph teams from Moline HS and Macomb HS in the afternoon, Morrison finished the tournament with a 6-0 record. Morrison’s team for Saturday’s event consisted of Blaine Williams, Violet Mills, Dylan Anderson, and Hailey Freeman. The team’s first-place finish builds on its success on Saturday, Nov. 6, when it finished second (among nine teams) at the Morrison High School Fr/Soph “Cereal Bowl” Invitational Tournament.

Several members of Morrison School’s staff spent their Saturday becoming certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid with Cheryl Robinson and Maggie Wike! Special thanks to NAMI of the Sauk Valley Area for sponsoring the event. We appreciated the opportunity to become more effective in supporting the mental health of the kids in our community❤️

To all veterans of all branches: Thank you for your sacrifice, your bravery, and the example you set for us all. In short, thank you for your service!
