FALL FEST IS FINALLY HERE!

Upcoming Marie Murphy Events
School Dance!
Choir Update
I am sad to share that we were unable to secure a choir teacher for Marie Murphy this school year. Unfortunately, this means we will not be able to offer choir at this time. I know this is disappointing news for our students who enjoy singing and being part of our choir community. Please know that we value vocal music at Marie Murphy, and if anything changes, I will be sure to share an update with our students and families.
Teacher Conference Sign-ups
Sign-ups for our October 28th and 29th Teacher conferences opened on October 7th. Parents, please check your email for detailed directions. Link here. We look forward to discussing your student's learning and growth with you later this month!
