Murwood's Annual Track & Field Day
Monday, June 3rd
This is an all day event of fitness and fun for grades 1-5 (TK/K enjoy their own activities organized by their teachers). It takes about 80 parent volunteers to make this day a success. It is a highlight of our school year for the kids and a great way to celebrate the end of the school year! Please consider joining us for as much time as you can spare... the kids love to see all of the cheering parents throughout the day!
* Please note,1st and 2nd graders will return to their classrooms after lunch. The afternoon activities are for grades 3-5 only.*
