  Why does Morris school have no security! They open the gate about 7:45 in the morning while kids arrive at school with no adult anywhere in sight. Anyone could walk through that gate and kids could walk back out. This morning there was a really creepy guy sitting on the curb across the street. After we dropped my grandson off we drove by him because I wanted to look at him in the face to let him know I saw him. He held a scarf over his face so I couldn't see his face. I called the school and told them about it and they said they'd look into it. Dows Prairie has an adult at every gate and usually the principal is out there too. I can't believe in this day and age the administration thinks it okay to leave our kids totally unprotected!

  The teachers are very committed to the students. So many of the students are reading above grade level, and the Spanish immersion portion of the day is amazing to watch. The level of parent involvement is great too - a lot of people really care about this school!

  We have two boys who attend Morris and couldn't be happier. We have been fortunate to have many teachers who are committed, dedicated and go the extra mile to make school rewarding and fun. Both our boys have needed extra help in different areas. We have received great support from the teachers, principal and support staff. And the PTO rocks! They have worked tirelessly to support and/or provide many outstanding programs - OMSI, family nights, Exploration Day, and more. And in addition to all of that, they are learning Spanish.

  I am so pleased that we chose to send our daughter to Morris. She is excelling in reading far and above her grade level, which exceeds our expectations of a language immersion school. The PTO is very active and inviting, adding so many enrichment opportunities for the children. The principal, staff and teachers are so devoted. The summer 2009 remodel and enhancements are wonderful.

  I was blown away by the parent group, both its fund raising power and the vast array of enrichment activities and events it sponsors. Some activities we enjoy are an annual week-long visit by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, Jammin' Jammy Night (an author festival), and Country & Cultures Night. Some schools take a lot of field trips. At Morris they bring the world to the campus so that all grade levels benefit. The language immersion program is awesome. I don't speak a lick of Spanish, nor do I need to. I'm proud my kids will have a competitive advantage in the workplace from the get-go. I've come to understand that at the heart of every good school is great leadership. The principal, teachers, support staff and parents function as a team, one that, after my first month, felt very much like a family.
