First Friday—Spirit Day
Next Friday, February 5, is the first Friday
of the month. Therefore, students are
encouraged to show their Morgan School
Spirit on this day by dressing in their
favorite Morgan t-shirt or by proudly
wearing our school colors of green & gold.
Remember this is just a day to celebrate
our school pride; it is not a “super fan” day.
Please, no hair dye, wigs, hats, or other
crazy fan attire. Go Cherokee pride!
