Walking Club Volunteers Needed
Walking Club, our students most beloved recess activity, is looking for volunteers to mark cards as the students walk laps around the track. The students can earn rewards as they meet some milestones. This program started 12 years ago and it is one of the children's favorite programs here at Murwood. It's a fun hour or so of your time
(roughly 11:40am-12:45pm) and your help is very much appreciated! Please contact Heather Sosa at
[email protected]
if you can help out!

Cut/tear the Box Tops out of the packaging, put them into a baggie/envelope, and bring them to the PTA area of the main office.
