🎉 Congratulations to our December Junior High and Senior High Students of the Month! These students have shown outstanding PRIDE in their daily work. Keep showing Pride everywhere! 🙌

🏃♀️✨ History was made at a track meet on Friday, December 19th, as the Mount Morris girls 4x200 relay team shattered a 35-year school record! Addyson Barnhardt, Jayla Mowday, Elissa Sturm, and Peyton Tidd sprinted to an incredible time of 2:01.69, earning a third place finish overall. The previous record of 2:02.10 was set in February of 1990 by Sara Allen, Jody Steen, Ida DioGuardi, and Nichole Geitner.
“The girls set their mind on the goal Friday night and really gave it everything they had through all legs of the relay. With three of the runners being newcomers and dual sport athletes, we are excited to see what else the group can accomplish before the end of the season,” said Coach A. James.
🔥 It was an outstanding night for the entire team, with Mount Morris athletes setting more than 15 new personal bests, along with several top placers and top five school records, including:
• Elissa Sturm, sixth place in the 55m hurdles with a personal best time of 10.28
• Robbie Lonsberry, sixth place in the high jump at 5 feet 8 inches
• Peyton Tidd, seventh place in the 55m with a personal best time of 8.02
👏 A huge congratulations to all of our student-athletes on an unforgettable night of competition!

Students had SNOW much fun at our Winter White Out Event! Our high school was buzzing with excitement as students bounced between colony ball, a soccer tournament, face painting, board games, karaoke, jam sessions, and of course… snow cones! Days like these are what school spirit is all about. Thanks to everyone who joined in and helped make it such a great event!

Our 6th grade students had a blast putting December’s PRIDE word, Trustworthy, into action! Through a fun, trust-building activity called Airport, students worked together using communication and teamwork to guide one another safely down the runway. It was great to see so much excitement, cooperation and confidence as students learned they can truly count on their classmates. 💙✈️

✍️📚 Our 7th and 8th grade students are having a unique writing experience as Dr. Lytton Smith, a writing professor at SUNY Geneseo and published author, is spending time in our classrooms teaching the art of writing microtexts. Students are exploring how to craft powerful fictional stories in 300 words or less, focusing on creativity, clarity, and strong storytelling.
Thank you to Dr. Smith for sharing his time, expertise, and passion for writing with our students.

Mount Morris CSD welcomed one of Roc Academy’s talented bands, Inches of Mercury, for an exciting assembly today for students in grades 5–8. The event helped spotlight our growing music program and announce that students now have access to electric and acoustic guitars, made possible through a generous donation from John “Gog” Coniglio.
Roc Academy was founded by Elvio Fernandes, an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, and producer. Since 2012, Elvio has been a member of the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated band Daughtry.
Despite a packed schedule, having performed with Daughtry on The Kelly Clarkson Show in New York City just two days ago and preparing to head out on tour in two days, Elvio made time to visit Mount Morris CSD. He delivered an inspiring presentation and showcased the remarkable talent of his Roc Academy students. Elvio’s message to students was to follow their passion wholeheartedly and have confidence in their abilities, whether that passion is music or something entirely different. Inches of Mercury had the auditorium rocking, with students dancing, cheering, and having an unforgettable time.
Elvio created Roc Academy to help young people build confidence and discover their inner “rock star.” In addition to its East Rochester location, the academy has recently opened a new site on Franklin Street in Geneseo, right around the corner from us.
