Back in April, Mr. Morrison made a promise to EMS students that if they met their goals and expectations for state testing, he would walk to school one day before the end of the year. 😳

Well… today was the day! 👟

At 3:30 this morning, Mr. Morrison and our Interim MS Assistant Principal, Mr. Stoesz, hit the road from River Falls and made the trek all the way to Ellsworth Middle School. 🌅

They may have arrived 9 minutes late to school, but we’ll give them a little grace today due to road construction on Hwy 65. 😂

Way to go, Mr. Morrison and Mr. Stoesz, for keeping your promise and showing our students that hard work and dedication pay off! 💜🖤
