L.B. Morris PTA encourages students

Members of L.B. Morris PTA wrote encouraging messages in chalk outside the school to welcome students on the first day. They chalked messages in multiple locations so students can see them whether they ride the bus or are dropped off. In case of inclement weather, PTA members also decided to post messages inside the school to give the students some positive encouragement for their first day.
