Is your child interested in Destination Imagination (DI)? DI gives students the opportunity to work as a team, think creatively, solve challenges, and put their ideas into action! If your child is interested in participating this year, please complete our DI Interest Form by September 21st, 2026.
Important: Teams can only be formed if we have enough parent/guardian volunteers to serve as Team Managers. Completing the interest form does not guarantee placement on a team, as the number of teams will depend on volunteer availability.

We’re excited to see how many of our Mustangs are ready to imagine, create, and problem solve this year!

Parents, we have the exciting opportunity for New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author Margaret Peterson Haddix to present to our students in grades 3-5 on October 8th! She will be discussing her process as an author as well as her newest duology, Moonleapers, about a girl whose first phone connects her to a network of time travelers who want to change the world.
Please use this link to purchase one or both of the Moonleapers books to be signed by Margaret on the day of the event and delivered to your student! https://bookpeople.com/list/margaret-peterson-haddix-webb-middle-school-and-murchison-elementary
Thank you so much and we are so excited to have our students welcome her to Murchison!
Please note: only 3rd through 5th grades will be invited to this event. Thank you for understanding if you have students in other grade levels; we will have more fun live events coming soon for them!
Books can be purchased for students in any grade level.

I have also listed the lunch times and tables below. Visitors should plan to come early to park and be seated at their student's table in the cafeteria to greet their student by the start of the lunch time.
