Murwood PTA
September 3, 2024

We hope everyone’s school year is off to a fantastic start and you enjoyed a well-deserved Labor Day weekend! 

As we dive into the school year, we want to remind you of the vital role Murwood PTA plays in enriching our students’ experiences. From funding educational programs to organizing community events, the PTA is here to support our students, teachers, and families every step of the way. We also want to impress that none of this would be possible without the help and contributions of you--our amazing Murwood Community!

A huge thank you to everyone who provided feedback about volunteering. We heard you loud and clear—many of you want to get involved, but aren’t sure how to sign up, what opportunities are available, and how those time commitments may work with your schedules. We’re excited to announce we’ve made it easier than ever to express your interest and explore volunteer opportunities through our new Get Involved portal and Volunteer Sign-Up Form located on our Murwood PTA website. Whether you have an hour to spare or want to take on a larger role, there’s something for everyone. 

While you’re visiting the website, don’t forget to check out our refreshed design! We’ve made a few updates to ensure you have access to the most relevant and helpful information, all while making navigation smoother. 

Lastly, we'd be remiss if we didn't take another opportunity to encourage you to explore our PTA Calendar—your one-stop shop for all major Murwood events and important dates. It’s even better if you subscribe, so you never miss a beat! 

Thank you for your continued support and engagement. Together, we’re making this school year the best it can be!

Step Up and Volunteer for Walking Club!

Lunch recess is about to get more exciting with the revival of Walking Club - but we need your help to get it going! The students absolutely love walking their laps and earning achievement awards, and are eager to start. With your involvement, we can make it happen again this school year.

If you're available to help out during 1st-5th grade lunch recess (~11:25am - 12:45pm), please raise your hand via our Volunteer Vault Form.

Let's get Walking Club rolling in the next few weeks and bring smiles, exercise, and prizes to our kids!

Get ready to dive into the world of books with the WCEF Read-A-Thon, a fantastic event that encourages our students to discover the joy of reading while raising vital funds for our schools! 

Running from September 16th to September 27th, this fun-filled fundraiser is designed for all grade levels, with every minute spent reading contributing to the success of our educational programs. 

Here’s how it works: Students set reading goals, gather sponsors, and log their reading time. The best part? Every minute and dollar counts—no minimums required! Prizes will be awarded for top readers and fundraisers, and with the added bonus of classroom rewards, there’s plenty of motivation to get involved. 

Keep an eye out for more information from Murwood teachers and administration in the coming weeks with all the details on how to sign up, track your child's reading, and make the most of this exciting event. Let’s come together to make this year’s Read-A-Thon a page-turning success!
