Mount Morris Elementary was excited to welcome back the Merry-Go-Round Youth Theatre for the second time this school year! The Merry-Go-Round Youth Theatre is the largest touring, curriculum-based theatre in Upstate New York. When a construction team sent to build a hydroelectric dam threatens to destroy the forest and the lives of those within, Emilia and her friends must join forces to stop them before all is lost. In this program our fifth-grade students learned how an American, a Brazilian, and all of Earth’s creatures and natural resources are connected-and why preserving the rainforest is more important now than ever!

Did you know Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire? In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention Week a national observance, making it the longest-running public health observance in our country. Today, at MMCSD members of the Mount Morris Fire Department put on a fire safety assembly for our elementary students. We watched video clips about preventing fires, how to stay safe in case of fire, escape routes, and calling 911. Students were then given the opportunity to tour a fire truck! Make your fire safety plan by visiting the National Fire Protection Association website.
