Dear Morikami Parents:

    On behalf of the Morikami PTA we wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving! 
    We are having a great year so far, our 1st Go take a Hike event was a huge success and fun was had by all,  and Team Morikami participated in there second walk last month for the American Cancel Society.  Morikami Park Elementary  had an amazing 10 Year Celebration that brought back many friendly faces to our Morikami Family for the day.  
    We have a wonderful event coming up this month, PTA Family Fitness Night on Wednesday  November 12th, get ready for a great workout.  Wear your Team Morikami attire and get entered in a raffle.  Please look for information to come home on all PTA events and look for info on the website! 
    If you are NOT receiving our MPES PTA EMAIL BLASTS, please email me immediately to get ON the list!!
    Have a wonderful November!
