WALK-A-THON
Welcome Back Mustangs! Mark your calendar for our first fundraiser of the year, the Murwood Welcome Back Walk-a-thon. This wonderful event is happening on
September 19, during school, and all students will participate. There is also an opportunity to return after school and walk with your family and friends. To support Murwood PTA programs we hope that you will solicit donations for your walking efforts and return your pledge forms by September 18th. The Walk-a-thon is a terrific time to help the Murwood PTA by volunteering. Sign-up by clicking

WELCOME BACK PICNIC AFTER WALK-A-THON
After the Walk-a-Thon, join your Murwood friends for a school-wide picnic. Bring your lawn chairs/blanket and a picnic dinner if you want something other than tacos for dinner. Activities include:
- 4-7pm (or until they run out): Our favorite Taco Truck will sell tacos for $2.50 each
- 5-8pm: DJ Dave will spin our favorite tunes
- 5-8pm: Halloween Costume Exchange/Donation
- 7:30pm: Healthy snack will be provided for our students
New this year is a Halloween Costume Exchange/Donation. Bring your gently used Halloween Costumes to share with the Murwood Community. Looking for a Halloween costume? Find one at the picnic!! All remaining costumes will be donated to a local charity. We hope to see you after the Walk-a-Thon!
KIDS LOVE WALKING CLUB - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Walking Club is a program offered to our kids through PTA. Every day during lunch recess the kids head out to the field to pick up their tracking card and walk or run around the track. It's a great way to them to get their blood flowing, blow off a little steam, visit with friends, and make new friends.
We need a few more volunteers to get the program going and offer it to the kids consistently every day (and they really get disappointed when it's not set up for them!). Each volunteer goes out one day per week from 11:40 - 12:25. This is a fun volunteer opportunity for someone who likes to be outside and it's rewarding to see how much the kids love doing it. Contact
Tina Neuhausel ASAP if you want to help.
