Principal's Message
Murwood Families,
Thank you to everyone who came to our Superintendent Coffee Monday morning with Marie Morgan. It is great to hear directly from you regarding your ideas on how to make Murwood even better.
Tonight is a foodie fest for our families! We have WCEF 20% night at Habit Burger from 4-9 and our Fourth Grade families are hosting a pizza night at Lamorinda Pizza on
3206 Danville Boulevard in Alamo from
4-8:30 to raise funds for next year's science camp.
Hearfelt thanks and appreciation to our PTA President, Danielle Scheg, for her strong leadership these past two years. We have some exciting new faces on our PTA board and hope you will join us. We are always looking for new ideas and welcome your participation at any level. A warm welcome to new President, Mus Goumi. We look forward to working with you.
See you Friday at 6 PM for the Spring Sing and Picnic!
Thank you,
Carol Nenni
Principal

From the Office
Dear Parents/Guardians-
Please remember to pack your child (or better yet, have them do it!) a healthy snack for their morning recess. Most students can't make it to lunch without refueling in the morning. For students who occasionally forget a snack, the office will provide one. Over the past week, we gave out an average of 8-10 snacks per day! While we will never turn any student away, this adds up to a lot of snacks and we often run out and then do not have snacks for those who really need them. So again, we please ask that you send your child with a snack everyday.
Thank you.
Nancy Kaye
Office Manager

Student Leadership - RRR Club
Come to the Spring Sing not only to watch your child sing and hang out with friends, but also to pick up some summer reading. Student Leadership has a RRR club to encourage students to reduce, reuse and recycle. They are sponsoring a Book Drive at the concert to get gently used books into the hands of young Murwood readers. Come by our table to pick up a "new" book.
