Hey, MAVS! Are you feeling classy? Let's show our style by wearing black and white attire on Thursday.

Good morning, MAVS! This week Murphy staff members will be passing out BULLSEYES to those students who are caught MAKING GOOD DECISIONS in the classroom. You can earn a BULLSEYE in a variety of ways. Make sure you are staying organized, filling out your planner, and completing your assignments. Let's end the first quarter strongly!

Mavericks: Last night the boys’ soccer team took on Plank. It was a tough, very physical, and exhausting game. However, after 60 min, the Mavericks came away with a well-deserved victory. Their record is now 4 wins, 2 losses. Keep up the great work!

Make it a great day Mavericks!
