Lunch Delivery Reminder
For student safety, we ask families to avoid using DoorDash, Grubhub, or other food delivery services for student lunches. Delivery drivers are not permitted inside the school office, and any food delivered will be left in the foyer for student pickup. Thank you for helping us limit unnecessary visitors to our building and keep Marie Murphy safe!
Debate Team (5th-8th Grade)
We need 6 registrants to run Debate and we currently have 3. Consider joining the fun!
This experience is sponsored by the ACES debate company and is an additional cost. See the website for more information.
Avoca West and Marie Murphy are hosting a Community Book Drive for Bernie's Book Bank and we need your help! Please donate new or gently used children’s books. Bernie's accepts new and gently used children’s books for children from birth through sixth grade reading level. Bernie's loves all books- fiction, non-fiction, chapter books, picture books and everything in between! Please no textbooks, dictionaries, activity books, coloring books, reference material or religious books.
