A Fond Farewell...

What a fast and action packed couple of weeks we have had here at Muraco!  Today, during community meeting, we showed our appreciation and love for our most caring and dedicated nurse, Mrs. Magee.  The Student Council planned a special celebration and all members of our community contributed to make this an event that Mrs. Magee will always remember!

Enjoy a few of the highlights, and be sure to watch our video tribute!  Find it at:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6-gfmBAXzE

I wish you all a holiday season filled with memory makers and much happiness and good health in the New Year.

Warmest wishes,

Laurie Kirby


Preparing for the big day!

Week in Review 12.5

There was  excitement in the air this past week.  It was clear that everyone enjoyed the time they had with family and friends during the Thanksgiving break, and the students are eagerly sharing their traditions and plans for the upcoming holiday season.  Your children's teachers have been working hard to find the balance of celebrating and recognizing traditions with maintaining the established routines, which our students need to thrive.

You can help us to support your children by making sure they get a good night's rest and that they start the day with a healthy breakfast!  Both are critical to the success of your children, and we can't thank you enough for your support!

Our first spirit day was a huge success!  The Student Council would like to say THANK YOU for making it a fun day.

Apology:  I want to apologize to those of you who have been receiving my Linkedin Invitations.  I was working on the computer, without my glasses, and I inadvertently allowed Linkedin to reach out to all my contacts.  I have learned my lesson and will be sure to wear my glasses when working on the computer!

Mystery Skype:  Below please find the clues given to our fourth graders from another group of students in the US?  Can you guess the location?

Friendly Reminders
  • I am noticing that many students are arriving after the second bell.  Please be sure that your child arrives to school on time.  It makes all the difference!
  • Dogs are not permitted on school grounds for the safety and comfort of all.  Unfortunately, in the past few weeks many students have stepped in dog waste on their way into school and out at recess.  Your help in reminder neighbors would be most appreciated!
