The Morongo Teachers Association held its annual banquet honoring teachers retiring from the Morongo Unified School District, along with MTA Service Award recipients this evening.  The event packed The Roadhouse Cafe in Yucca Valley to capacity.

Though the event was well attended, only two members of the MUSD Board of Education were in attendance.  Superintendent Jim Marjchrzak did not attend.

We would like to congratulate this year's retirees and thank them for their service.
