Our Student Council will be hosting our annual Veteran's Day event at Marie Murphy on November 11th. Breakfast for our community will be served from 8:30-9:00 and our assembly will be from 9:00-9:30. We want to provide plenty of time for our community to add family veteran's to this google slide show. Slides 3-10 are blank for new entries. Past community entries can be viewed and edited after slide 10.



This is a centerpiece to our assembly and we hope you choose to add your veteran to our slideshow! If you plan to attend please RSVP here.

Thank you!

7th Grade Only: Signs of Suicide Assembly

On December 2nd Seventh-grade students will attend a required Signs of Suicide (SOS) presentation. The presentation will help students recognize warning signs and know how to reach out to a trusted adult if they are concerned about themselves or a friend.

If you would like your child to opt out of the assembly, please contact Jill Silverman, Marie Murphy Social Worker (silvermanj@avoca37.org/ 847-251-3138
