Murwood PTA
May 13, 2025
Dear Murwood Community,

As we round out another incredible school year, I want to take a moment to say THANK YOU - for all the energy, heart, and Mustang Momentum you brought to our school. From Fall Festival to Havana Nights to last week’s joyful Murwood in Paradise celebration, your time, creativity, and generosity helped create an incredible school experience our students will never forget. We felt the Murwood Magic all year long—and we couldn’t have done it without you.


Before we wrap, we’ve still got a few highlights ahead! Don’t miss our final PTA gathering of the year—Thursday, May 22 at Calicraft Brewing Co. from 5–7 PM. We’ll start with a short PTA update, then shift into celebration mode. Bring the family and help us toast to a great year! We’ve also got Track & Field Day just around the corner. Plenty of volunteers are needed to help bring the fun to life. Scroll below for the sign-up link and join us in making this beloved tradition a success.


Looking ahead, we’re already laying the groundwork for 2025–2026 with events and programs we can’t wait to share. You’ll find a sneak peek below to help you plan early. And, as a heads-up, PTA communications are moving to ParentSquare next year, so everything you need—school news, events, volunteer opps—will be in one place. Stay tuned!


On behalf of the entire PTA Board, thank you again for being part of this amazing community. Wishing you a joyful, restful summer—and we’ll see you soon for another unforgettable year.


With Mustang Pride,
Megan Lenigk

2025 - 2026 APPROVED PTA CALENDAR
FAREWELL FAMILY SOCIAL | MAY 22

Join us for our final PTA gathering of the 2024 - 2025 school year—part meeting, part celebration!

We’ll kick things off with a brief update on year-end PTA business, then shift into a casual community hangout as we toast to the end of the 2024–2025 school year. Bring the whole family and join us at Calicraft Brewing Company on Thursday, May 22 from 5–7 PM.

This is a non-hosted event, open to all Murwood families. Come connect, unwind, and help us send off the school year in great company.

HELP OUR KIDS GO FOR THE GOLD!

Mark your calendars: Tuesday, May 27th, is Track & Field Day-one of Murwood's most anticipated days of the year!

Track & Field Day brings our entire school community together for a day of outdoor fun, school spirit, and friendly competition. The festivities begin with an Olympic-style opening ceremony as each class parades around the track—cheered on by families and volunteers—followed by high-energy events like relays, long jump, obstacle courses, gunnysack races, and more.

It’s a day full of smiles, high-fives, and unforgettable memories—but we need your help to make it happen.

Volunteer for a shift and help us make Track & Field Day a gold-medal day for our students!
