Murray Elementary School

Hello Murray Families! ☀️🐠

We hope everyone is having a fintastic summer full of sunshine, laughter, and fun!

As we soak up these beautiful summer weeks and enjoy some well-earned relaxation, we want to remind you to take a deep breath and truly savor this special time with your loved ones. Whether you are heading off on big summer adventures, playing at the park, or just enjoying a quiet afternoon in the shade, we hope you are making wonderful memories together.

While we know it can be hard to think about school while you’re enjoying your summer break, we are already getting so excited behind the scenes! We truly cannot wait to welcome all of our students and families back to campus this August to kick off another amazing school year together. 🎉

Keep an eye out for more detailed information and back-to-school updates coming your way. Until then, keep making memories, stay safe, and enjoy every single moment of the rest of your summer break.

We can't wait to see all your smiling faces again very soon! ❤️

Warmly,

Your Murray Elementary School Team
