4 Community Updates!
1) Brad Barton, a family-friendly magician, is coming to Morgan, May 1st, MHS, 6:30pm (it's FREE!) to teach youth the importance of staying drug/alcohol free using magic, and..."What Will Your Kids Do On Their Summer Break?" will take place immediately afterwards. Find out what activities, day camps, classes, etc. Morgan County businesses/organizations have available for your kids to do this summer after Brad's Barton's presentation!

3) Splash pad in Morgan: Want to have your kids play at a local splash pad at Riverside Park this summer? Morgan City is just $20K shy of having the funds in full to pay for a splash pad ! Any monetary donation would help from parents and especially from KIDS! Last year a six year old girl sold extra eggs to some neighbors from her chickens and contributed half the money to the city for the splash pad. What can your kids think of to earn and contribute $$ towards a splash pad?!
Donations can be dropped off at the Morgan City office Monday through Thursday from 7am - 6pm. They can also be mailed to the Morgan City Office at 90 West Young Street. Any amount is appreciated - pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters included!
4) "Ellis Island: Why Did YOUR Ancestors Come to America?" Do you have kids at MMS or approaching 6th grade? See and read about Principal Madeo's Italian ancestors immigrating to America from Italy, a 21 year old girl immigrating by herself from Finland to America not knowing a lick of English, and a young couple from Sweden who immigrated to America in hopes of finding employment as tailors! April's "Forgotten American Family Night Story" is now available on www.morgancityut.com !
THAT'S IT!
