The Fall Session of Murch Plus kicks off today — Wednesday, October 22, from 3:30–4:15 PM! Emails with class assignments were sent earlier this week.

Students will be dismissed from Murch Plus at 4:15 PM to either their after-school program or to parents/guardians.

• After-School Programs: Students enrolled in Wonders or CLS will be released directly to their program.
• Parent Pick-Up: Parents will meet students outside the front entrance on Davenport Street and should wait until their child is brought out with their Murch Plus group.

On Thursday, November 6, all current Murch students are invited to stop by the Big Playground from 3:15–4:00 PM for a special library pop-up!

Our 5th grade Library Advisory Board (LAB) members will be running a mobile check-out station and sharing book recommendations to help you discover your next great read.  Nothing says fall quite like cozying up with a brand-new book—come by and find yours!

We are looking for current Murch families to help lead school tours for prospective families interested in joining our community. Tours take place once a month on Monday mornings at 9:15 AM and last about 90 minutes.

Tour dates for the 2025–26 school year:
November 10 • December 8 • January 5 • February 9 • March 9 • April 20 • April 27 (Pre-K families only) • May 4

New volunteers can shadow an experienced tour guide before leading their own and will receive a detailed tour script with school information and FAQs to make the experience easy and enjoyable.

If you’d like to volunteer, please contact Hayley Love at  hayleylofink@gmail.com.

Monday, October 27 is School Picture Day! Each student will have an individual photo taken by Freed Photography, which families will be able to purchase later.

Please note: class and group photos will be scheduled for a later date. We’ll share details once those are confirmed.

Make sure your student comes to school ready to smile! 

The Murch International Committee is excited to bring back the International Display at the school entrance! This rotating showcase will feature cultural items from the many countries and traditions represented in our community.

If you have an item you’d like to share, please email Negar (nikifar30@gmail.com) and Sayuri (sbayona@gmail.com). Items will be safely displayed and returned to you whenever you need them back.

Let’s celebrate the rich diversity of our Murch community together!
