Mustang Message

Today is the start of Brain Cancer Awareness Month. This disease has touched many people in our school community and the families and friends of staff. Please join us by wearing GRAY every Friday this month to show support and help spread awareness.

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.

Once a Mustang, Always a Mustang!

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 4-8! Our PTO has some amazing things planned to celebrate our teachers on behalf of all parents!

Another thing that teachers love is words of appreciation. Consider sending your child's teacher a personal email or giving them a shout-out in the district's monthly magazine as a thank you for all they do.

Behind every successful student is a team of dedicated professionals, and on Wednesday, May 6th, we have the opportunity to spotlight a vital member of that team: our School Nurses.

National School Nurse Day is our chance to recognize the incredible healthcare leaders who keep our campuses safe, healthy, and ready to learn. From managing chronic conditions and navigating complex medical emergencies to providing a compassionate "home base" for students in need, our nurses do far more than just hand out bandages- they are the bridge between healthcare and education, and the heartbeat of our schools.

Please take a moment to recognize them on this special day, ensure they feel valued, and celebrate them for the work they do every day in our schools.

Our End of Year Awards Ceremonies are coming up in just a couple weeks. Every K-5 student will get an award! Awards Ceremonies will be held in the Gym.

*5th graders will do a final "5th grade walk" through the hallways at Murchison at 7:45, then begin awards at 8:00.

Seven 5th graders will be participating in an online art meet called TEAM (Texas Elementary Art Meet.). These artists have worked for months on their original creative expression, and also had to answer some critical thinking questions that will be judged on May 2nd. Mrs. Almaraz asked students to choose their own theme, and gave them the freedom to pick the materials they wanted to use to create.

Our MES representatives will be competing against several schools in our Region, and will also have an opportunity to advance. Good luck to Amelia, Chloe, Ava, Grace, Iris, Cayson, and Isabelle!

Favor is running a fundraiser for us through May 31. Any order placed with MES designated earns 15% back, whether it's groceries or deliveries! See the flyer below for more information.
