🍬👻 THE CANDY MONSTERS OF MURPHY — PART 9! 👻🍬

🏆 THE FINAL COUNT — AND THE WINNER IS… 🏆

Murphy families, the moment we’ve been waiting for has arrived! 😱🍬

The halls were quiet last night. All four Candy Monsters gathered around one enormous mountain of candy, chocolate, and Halloween trinkets.

The purple monster grabbed a calculator, the green monster organized the candy, the orange monster counted, and the little blue monster tried to sneak a few chocolates! 😂🍫

After counting—and counting again—they gathered around the leaderboard.

🍬👻 FINAL CANDY MONSTER LEADERBOARD! 👻🍬

🥇 4TH GRADE — 13,386 POINTS! 👑🏆
🥈 KINDERGARTEN/ECC — 9,423 POINTS! 🍫
🥉 1ST GRADE — 3,730 POINTS! 🎉

🍬 3RD GRADE — 3,044 POINTS
🍭 5TH GRADE — 2,039 POINTS
🎃 2ND GRADE — 2,037 POINTS

🏆🍬 CONGRATULATIONS, 4TH GRADE! 🍬🏆

You are the 2026 Murphy Candy Monster Champions! 🎉👻

What a comeback! 4th grade started with 1,239 points, chased Kindergarten/ECC for weeks, and finished with an incredible 13,386 points!

Huge shout-outs to every grade:

💙 Kindergarten/ECC: You led for most of the competition and finished with 9,423 points!

🔥 1st Grade: You jumped from 1,690 to 3,730 points and finished in third place!

🍬 3rd Grade: You finished strong with 3,044 points!

🎃 5th Grade: You finished with 2,039 points—just two ahead of 2nd grade!

👏 2nd Grade: You started with zero points and finished with 2,037. What a comeback!

Together, Murphy earned…

🎉 33,659 POINTS! 🎉

Thanks to your generosity, we collected enough candy and treats to last through our entire Trunk or Treat! 🙌🍫

Every donation made a difference. Whether you donated candy, trinkets, chocolate, or money, you helped make the Fall Festival a sweet success!

THANK YOU, MURPHY FAMILIES! 💙🦁

The Candy Monsters are finally full. They’ve promised to stop creeping around Murphy, causing trouble, and eating classroom supplies…

AT LEAST UNTIL NEXT HALLOWEEN! 👀👻
