March is Women’s History Month—a time to celebrate the many contributions women have made throughout history and continue to make today. To honor the occasion, Murch will host a Women’s History Month Career Day on Friday, March 27.

We’re looking for women in the Murch community to share a short presentation about their career and help inspire our students!

Event Details:
Guests may arrive at 8:30 AM for light refreshments and are welcome to attend the school-wide Strong Start Assembly at 9:00 AM. Career presentations will begin around 9:30 AM and run until approximately 10:30–11:00 AM.

Speakers will visit classrooms to give a brief overview of their career and answer student questions:

• K–2 classes: ~15 minutes per classroom
• 3–5 classes: up to ~30 minutes per classroom

Please click HERE to sign up and include a short description of your career so we can match you with the appropriate grade level.

Thank you for helping inspire our Murch students!
