From Ms. Quinney
Murchison Families,
I cannot believe we have come to the end of the year. It has been my honor to be your child's principal this year and watch them grow socially, academically, and physically. I am excited to honor the students at our End of Year Awards Ceremonies and hope you can join us in the Gym at the following times:
Wednesday, May 20:
9:00 4th grade
10:00 3rd grade
11:00 Kindergarten
12:00 1st grade
1:00 2nd grade
Thursday, May 21:
8:00 5th grade
*5th graders will do a final "5th grade walk" through the hallways at Murchison at 7:45, then begin awards at 8:00.
Every K-5 student will get an award.
Thank you for partnering with us in your child's education this year. Have a fun and safe summer!

Gardening Help
We have some garden beds in the back that we are working to utilize. A volunteer organization cleaned them up for us and a wonderful parent did some planting. If you are available to help water during drop off, pick up, or at lunch, let me know and I can put you in touch with each other to coordinate a schedule!
Senior Walk
Tell your friends and neighbors who have a High School Senior who attended Murchison: we would love to see them for the Senior Walk! It is on May 18 at 8:00 am. Seniors should arrive to Door 3 at 7:45 am so that we can begin the walk promptly at 8:00.
