Principal's Message
|
Dear Parents,
Please join us this Thursday, February 5, for our annual Superintendent Coffee with Dr. Wool. We look forward to you joining us for coffee and conversation. Come to the office, sign in, and join us in the staff lounge at 9:00 AM.
Thank you to Dana Neitz and Andrea Slavet for all the hard work organizing our annual Disco Bingo Night!! It is a Murwood favorite and a great family time. Many thanks to all the families who stayed and helped clean tables, sweep floors, and tidy up the MPR. I appreciate your willingness to pitch in. That's what makes us such a great community!
Congratulations to Kailani and all the contestants in this year's spelling bee! What a hard fought competition among full-fledged scholars! This was one of the most competitive battles we ever had.
Thank you,
Carol Nenni
Murwood Principal

KIDS LOVE WALKING CLUB - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Are you able to come out for Walking Club for less than an hour one day per week? 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 more volunteers on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays in order to provide this fun activity for 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 - 12:30. This is a fun 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.
STILL TIME TO Register FOR ASE
Classes do have limited seats and are filling fast, so register now.
Check out the courses for this term - Public Speaking and Debate, Cooking by Geography, Homework Club, Tennis Club, Singing Classes, Dancing Classes, Broom Hockey, Yoga, Physics with Legos, Cartoon Computer programming, a New Kid Science Class, Running Club, Chess, a new Art class.
Check out the ASE Spring Webpage on the Murwood PTA Website or pick up a packet in the school office.
Questions? Contact Amy Cole at 415-517-9403 or [email protected].

It's February folks. Time to share the LOVE. Does your athlete have a friend that is dying to try the sport of Synchro? Can't wait until spring? We have a unique opportunity to include athletes mid-season as we build up our 12 and under teams. Bring all interested swimmers to Heather Farm Park this Saturday from 11:00-Noon. There is plenty of opportunity left in the season for athletes to train and compete, and get a taste of this wonderful sport! Forward this email to friends and family.
WCA will waive the $15 trial membership fee, but the attached forms MUST be filled out and returned (scanned and emailed OK) to Kristen Smidstra by this Friday, Feb 6. No Walk in registrations will be allowed. (Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards comfortably).
