Congratulations to our Division III LCAA Co-Champions! The Mount Morris Boys’ Varsity Soccer Team clinched a tie for the Livingston County Division III Championship last Monday. This is only the 8th time in our school history we have won this championship and the first time since 2018. “This was one of the goals for this season's team, and it was accomplished with a big win over a tough Keshequa team on our Senior Recognition Night! The team has worked extremely hard during the off season and we have prepared ourselves with a tough schedule and a hard in season work ethic. We hope this is the beginning of many accomplishments and a successful post season. We have our sights set on a Sectional Championship!” said Coach Connolly.

4th through 6th grade students recently created beautiful drip art, which is now displayed near the front entrance of the school! This project was inspired by contemporary artist, Jen Stark.

After viewing the play, students were able to walk through the B-17, known as "The Movie Memphis Belle."
