Mustang Message

Mustang Families,

This is the last weekend to donate to our Painless Fundraiser! The classes in the lead are:

1st Place-Ms. Flax's Class!
2nd Place-Ms. Dorsey's Class!
3rd Place-Ms. Krasnonosenkikh's Class!

A note came with your child so you can send cash in the attached envelope or you can donate online at https://pflugervilleisd.revtrak.net/es/murchison-elementary/#/v/painless-fundraiser-2025-26 or using the QR code below. Our goal is to raise $22,000 and so far we have raised $6,904. Every donation helps; no donation is too big or too small!

The grade level who raises the most money tonight will get extra recess! The top earners for this weekend will have lunch with me in the my office!

Thank you for your support!
Carrie Quinney

Our first awards assembly will be held on Friday, October 31. You will know if your child is getting an award because their teacher will reach out to you or you will see that they made all A's on their report card. 2nd-5th grade report cards will be available in the Skyward Portfolio on October 23.

Students who receive an award will get a dog tag. If your child received a dog tag previous years, feel free to have them wear the chain to school for the awards assembly. That way they can display their previous achievements and add another dog tag to the chain if they get another one! If they have misplaced theirs from previous years or are new to Murchison, they will get a new chain.

Award times are listed below:

7:50-8:10 -- 5th grade

8:15-8:35 -- 4th grade

8:40-9:00 -- 3rd grade

9:05-9:25 -- 2nd grade (they will also be performing a short song)

9:30-9:45 -- 1st grade

9:50-10:05 -- Kindergarten

Here is the counselor newsletter for November. Please email Ms. Vandeloock at susan.vandeloock@pfisd.net if you have any questions or do not want your child to participate in these lessons.

Pflugerville ISD is looking for volunteers to participate in a K-12 Career Readiness project. Staff members on the project will help develop lessons and activities for career awareness and exploration at all grade levels and they would like parent feedback on the project too. Please let me know if you are interested and I will submit your name!

We will have our annual food drive hosted by Aramark beginning today. You will see a collection box in front of the school if you would like to donate!
