And, all proceeds go to the Morris Educational Foundation!
The Morris School District serves the educational needs of the communities of Morristown and Morris Township for grades K-12 and Morris Plains for grades 9-12. In the classrooms and on the playgrounds of this extraordinary and expansive school system, over 4,700 children of every race, ethnicity, religion and economic background come together to learn with and from each other. Multicultural, harmonious, and committed to the belief that all children can excel, the Morris School District stands as a beacon of America at its best.
In spite of its success, the Morris School District, like all others in the state and across the nation, is confronted by the ever-increasing challenge of funding public education. Escalating costs, expanding enrollment and decreasing state aid must be offset by alternative sources of funding if the District is to maintain the extraordinary range and caliber of academic, extra-curricular, athletic and social opportunities which have been its standard.
While colleges and universities, private, parochial and independent prep schools have long relied upon private endowments and contributions to sustain or expand programs, school taxes historically have been the only source of revenue for public education. Independent of the Morris School District, the Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) corporation that seeks to attract private resources to support a variety of educational programs that tax dollars do not cover. Through effective solicitation and distribution of funds, the Morris Educational Foundation helps enable the District to continue to be the model of visionary social and educational leadership it has been since its inception.
