Community Voices
As an advisor to many middle and high school clubs and classes, we are always looking for new, beautiful spaces to celebrate our students. Whether it be an art show, prom or event, the proposed interior of the Church on the Hill will be a lovely resource to our community. Set in the heart of Lenox, with so many gorgeous windows welcoming in light, the interior space will offer a variety of options. I look forward to when we can organize a special event in the historic meetinghouse space!

Part of what makes Morris Elementary such a desirable school for families to attend—beyond the amazing faculty, staff, and administration—is the incredible support and partnership of our greater Lenox community. As the Morris PTO President, I am proud of all the many wonderful events and activities the PTO sponsors for Morris students, and the proposed interior renovation to the Church on the Hill would offer new possibilities for ways to enrich and expand our offerings. This location could serve as host to our Talent Show, concerts, art shows, club gatherings, and more. We look forward to planning our first event or activity in the newly renovated Church on the Hill.
