Good Morning Mavericks! Today is Friday, March 8th, 2019

Have you lost something? We have many items looking for their owner! There are many water bottles, lunch bags, clothing and many random school supply items.  Please take time to come check out the lost and found outside of the student services office to see if your lost item has been found. ALL unclaimed items will be donated after school today.  

Attention all 7th and 8th graders:   There will be a brief informational meeting next Tuesday, March 12th for those interested in track.  The meeting will be held during homeroom next Tuesday the twelfth in the multipurpose room.  Any 7th and/or 8th graders interested in joining the track team are welcome to attend.  If you have questions, see a track coach: Mr. Zaininger, Mr. Brown, Ms, Gabehart, or Ms. Vihnanek.

Attention 7th and 8th graders, this year Murphy will be participating in the annual Aurora Sports Festival on Friday, May 10th.  This is a great opportunity to compete with surrounding schools in various sports and events such as: bags, basketball, bowling, checkers, chess, golf, in-line skating, tennis, soccer, softball, tug-o-war, and volleyball.  If you are interested in being excused from school for the day and joining the fun, please see Mr. Shields or Mr. Brown during your PE or Health class to pick-up a registration/waiver sheet to sign up. Keep in mind that not all who sign-up will be able to come.  Grades, behavior, and attendance will be the major deciding factors on who gets to join.
