Our Muraco Teams are Busy!

Matthew Comenitz- Marlow's Christmas Tree Book Signing
Wednesday, December 7th, at 4:30

Matthew Comenitz, first grade teacher, will read and sign copies of his new book, Marlow's Christmas Tree. Marlow is a mouse who loves Christmas more than anything in the world, but he has never had a Christmas tree of his own. He decides that this year will different, and goes in search of his own Christmas tree, but it's not an easy task for a little mouse! Matthew, who is a 1st grade teacher at Muraco Elementary School in Winchester, originally came up with the idea for his story while living in an apartment in Allston, where he met some of Marlow's real-life kin.

Below please find the link to the site.  You can also find it on the Muraco School website in the Curriculum tab.  Be sure to check this site  periodically, as new information will be added.

Fourth Grade Students Practicing Mindfulness!

Making their Own Fun While Waiting for the Bus!

Friendly Reminders
  • School starts at 8:30.  I am noticing that many students are arriving after the 8:30 bell.  Please help us instill good habits by having your child arrive to school on time.  
  • It important that you turn off your car while waiting for your children at dismissal.  There is an idling law that we must follow.  
  • All car drop off and pick ups should occur on Bates Road.  Please do not use the adjacent streets.  It is a safety issue, and we want to be respectful of our neighbors.


Your support and cooperation makes all the difference!  I appreciate your efforts.
