v  Committee Reports

• Friends of Morey

1. Future of FOM – Julie Kosloski

Committee feels that Friends of Morey should be part of Parent Council in the future and not a separate committee.  Most efforts of both groups are related.  Nanci Davis volunteered to have her firm to the bookkeeping for FOM next year on a volunteer basis.

Congratulations to Morey’s own Jon’Nae Richardson!

She was recently nominated and selected as an award recipient for the John Lynch Foundation. The John Lynch Foundation has a monthly program that recognizes student athletes who excel in academics, athletics and community involvement from Denver metro public and private schools.

Ms. Hansen, Jon’Nae’s coach and World History teacher, nominated her because of her hard work and dedication to athletics, academics, and her community.   Jon’Nae was the Morey girls basketball team’s leading scorer for the 2009-2010 season.  Jon’Nae is focused to make sure she is on the right track in pursuing her collegiate dreams.
