My grandchildren attend Morgan Township Elementary School. I must say that I have been extremely impressed with the quality of education they have received thus far.

There are a couple of places I feel might need improvement. I would like to see more emphasis placed on teaching geography to the students. In this day and age, I feel it is quite important for them to be proficient in this area. I feel it is important for the students to be knowledgeable in current events as well.

I sincerely believe much of the school's success comes from the outstanding leadership of the elementary principal. With her obvious interest in the children and the upbeat attitude she displays for both students and teachers alike, the school's tone for success is set.

Every time I have entered Morgan Twp School, I have felt the warmth, friendliness, and welcome from so many, and that made me feel good to be there. I have loved seeing the work of the students displayed in the hallways. I have appreciated the dedication of so many of the teachers. I am happy that my grandchildren are fortunate enough to be able to attend this outstanding place for learning. I thank you all for any part you do in making this school such a major success!!
