Principal's Message
Murwood Families,
Please help us congratulate Rachel Villalba, Murwood's Teacher of the Year 2019. Rachel tirelessly advocates for her students and continues to provide a warm, welcoming environment for all.
Congratulations are also due to Nancy Kaye, our fantastic Office manager who is our Employee of the Year. Nancy seamlessly transitions among student care, clear office management and procedures and staff support.
We are so proud to partner with these two outstanding employees who make our school a better place every day.

Book Swap Ends March 7
In celebration of Read Across America, we will be having our first Murwood Book Swap. Until this Friday, students can bring in gently used books that are no longer wanted. For each book they donate they will receive a ticket that they can exchange for other donated books. The swap will be held in the library. Students can shop during lunch, class library time and after school. Please contact Kelly Durflinger if you have any questions.

Come enjoy dinner and dessert from one of the food trucks that will be there!

Participating scientists are asked to stand by their boards just long enough for one of the evening's "questioners" to ask about their project. After that, they are free to leave their board and explore the other projects. If you stay until 7:30, you may take your projects with you Thursday evening, if you leave early boards must be collected by Friday morning. We are looking forward to seeing all you have discovered!
NEEDED! "QUESTIONERS" No Experience is necessary! We need adults to ask our students questions about their projects. You will only need to be a "questioner" for about 30 minutes and can enjoy the rest of the fair! Please contact Mrs. Sicotte at
[email protected]
if you are interested!

Multi-Cultural Night
Please join the Murwood PTA and the 5th Grade class on March 28th from 5:30-7 for our Multi-cultural Night Celebration. We invite everyone to prepare a dish to share with the room, something traditional or a family favorite (please label, including your name, dish name, and ingredients). Our diversity is what makes Murwood the beautiful, inclusive community that we are, and we'd like to take a night to celebrate together. Students' Heritage posters will be displayed.
This is a terrific, family-fun filled, community evening. We are looking forward to seeing all of you there.
