Principal's Message
|
Dear Murwood Families,
Friday is our Walk-a-thon Day and you can help your child walk miles for Murwood by making sure they have a good breakfast, a healthy snack, are covered at home with sunscreen, and arrive at school with a water bottle, tennis shoes, and a hat to block the sun! We'll be walking again as a family at 4:00 PM, followed by our fantastic family picnic. Make new friends and meet your children's classmates! We are a warm welcoming community and this is one of favorite events! We ask that you leave your pets at home, as we don't allow pets on campus during school hours or events. We also ask that you supervise your children closely on the playground and field to ensure their safety.
Do you speak a second language fluently and are willing to translate for some of our new families? If so, call the office and tell us what language you speak and provide a contact number and best times to help. Thanks!
Thank you,
Carol Nenni
Murwood Principal

PTA Corner

The Walk-a-Thon is only two days away!!! Please remember to have your child return his/her Pledge form to their teacher by TOMORROW.
We'd appreciate it if you could send a water bottle to school with your child on Friday so that he/she will have it while walking during the day. We'll refill as needed and please make sure your child's name is clearly marked on it. This will help us reduce the amount of cups and trash.
If you haven't had a chance to sign up to volunteer at the event, please click here.
BACK TO SCHOOL PICNIC
