The Student Activity Fee Initiative, introduced during the 2025–26 school year, helps offset the cost of participation in junior high and high school activities. Its purpose is simple: to remove financial barriers and ensure more students have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities.
This initiative was made possible through the generous bequest of Dr. Richard “Doc” Vandermyde. More than 10 years ago, Doc met with the Morrison Schools Foundation to share his concern that activity fees could prevent some students from participating in the programs that enrich their educational experience. Thanks to his extraordinary generosity and lasting investment in the Foundation’s mission, that vision has become a reality.
MSF is also excited to announce that, because of the program’s success and the continued support from the community, the Morrison Schools Foundation will once again fund the Student Activity Fee Initiative for the 2026–27 school year.
“We encourage all Morrison students to get involved, try something new, and take advantage of the many opportunities available through school activities. Thank you to everyone who helps make these opportunities possible for our students!” they shared on their Facebook page.
