Principal's Message
Dear Murwood Families,
 
Thank you to all the families who came out and enjoyed our Family Math Night on Thursday. We had 300 people participate in a fun evening of Math Talks, math games, and computer programs.  Hopefully, you got to experience firsthand the rigor and thought process required for conceptual math.  Thanks to our wonderful Murwood Mathletes (teachers!) who made the event so much fun!
 
Every year, Lynnette, Stacy, and I are the recipients of numerous lovely sweets, treats, and gifts.  We are so overwhelmed by your generosity and hope that this year, you will consider donating a gift card to our Giving Tree instead. There is nothing we enjoy more than sharing the goodwill with our families in need.

Murwood Principal
From the Office
Parents who drive, please start using using your car name tags at pick up.  They hang directly on your rearview mirror and help us to more easily have your child ready to hop in, getting you through the carpool line quicker!
 
We still have a table full of Lost & Found items that would love to be returned to their owners...please swing by to check for anything that might be yours.
WCEF
December Fundraising Update
Thank you to all of the families that have already donated to WCEF K-12 for this school year. With your help, we've already raised $580,000 toward our $1 million goal!
 
But we still have a long way to go--so far only 30 percent of our families have donated. If we do not make our $1 million goal, we will not be able to fund the critical programs and services that so enrich our students' education.
 
Have you made your donation to WCEF K-12 yet? Do your part;  donate to WCEF K-12 today!
