🌸💐 Help Us Build Something Beautiful for Our Teachers! 💐🌸

On Thursday, May 7th, we’re creating a Flower Bar to celebrate our amazing teachers—and we’d love your help!

Bring a handful of flowers (from your garden or store-bought) and add them to our collection. When you arrive, just stop by the table with buckets and drop off your blooms—every single stem helps create bright, cheerful bouquets 🌼

📚💚🐴Help Us Reach Our Goal! 🐴💚📚

We’re so close to making sure every Murray teacher and staff member receives a special book as their Teacher Appreciation Week gift- but we still have 22 books left to go!

If you’re able, please consider purchasing a book from our wishlist. Every single one helps us make sure no one is missed 💫

These books will be gifted on the last day of Teacher Appreciation Week (Friday)—let’s make it extra special for the people who give so much to our kids!

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated, bid, and attended the very first Murray Elementary School Silent Auction!

It was truly wonderful to see so many friendly faces come together in support of a shared cause. Thanks to our incredible community, we raised over $16,000!

These funds will go directly toward field trips, teacher resources, and meaningful projects that help make Murray Elementary such a great place to learn and grow.
We are so grateful for your support and the awesome turnout! 🐴💚
