The Morton School Board is considering naming the baseball field after former coach/teacher Jim Johnson. Those who are interested in commenting on this potential action are asked to send their comments to Superintendent John Hannah at jhannah@morton.k12.wa.us. The board is expecting to take action on this during their October board meeting.

This morning during Jr/Sr high lunch, the Jr/Sr high building went into a medical lock down in order to protect the privacy of the student involved. The lock down is over and everyone is safe. Thank you.
