Seussical KIDS brings Dr. Seuss magic to the Grant D. Morse Stage!
With the Cat in the Hat as narrator, audiences followed Horton the Elephant on his journey to protect the tiny Whos of Whoville, sharing powerful lessons about friendship, loyalty, and standing up for what’s right.
This incredible show featured 42 talented cast members from Grades 3–5, along with 12 dedicated Grade 6 crew members who have grown through their involvement in the program. Their hard work and enthusiasm truly shined on stage.
We are so proud of the outstanding performances and the quality of acting displayed by our students. A heartfelt thank you goes to Director and Theatre Advisor Valerie Raleigh for her dedication to the arts and for inspiring our students every step of the way.

The spirit of giving is alive and well at Grant D. Morse Elementary School, where teachers came together to support school families through an Adopt-A-Student gift drive. Principal Kristina Giangreco worked alongside the school’s social worker, nurse, and psychologist to identify families in need. Teachers and staff selected gifts from an anonymous list and purchased items to help ensure every student felt remembered this season.
