School district honors Morris

Honoring the work done by retiring Sisters Schools Foundation President Rod Morris, the Sisters School Board passed a formal resolution that named last November as Rod Morris Month.

Morris and foundation Treasurer Darren Layne retired from their posts after many years of service.

Morris was the founding President of the organization and helped set the organization's course.

Incoming President Susan Arends noted that she is "following the clear path laid out by Rod Morris. He's made it really easy."

The retiring president placed strong emphasis on the foundation's endowment. The board commits 25 percent of each year's revenues to the endowment fund, which is invested conservatively in an effort to make the foundation self-sustaining.
