Mark your calendars! On Sunday, October 19, from 3:30–6:30 PM, Georgetown University Men’s & Women’s Soccer players — including Miles Avery, Julian Barrios-Cristales, and Shay Montgomery — will be leading a skills training session and team play at Douglas MacArthur School Field (1101 Janney’s Ln, Alexandria, VA 22302).

The clinic will wrap up with a Q&A panel, where players will share what life is like as Division I student-athletes.

 This is a great opportunity for young athletes to develop their game and learn about the collegiate athlete experience. Spots are limited — sign up soon!

Did you catch the surprise pop-up of the New Morning Farm Market across from Murch last week? If not—no worries! They’ll be back every Tuesday in September from 3–7PM on Ellicott Street (in the parking lot of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church).

This local farm stand brings the best of the PA–DC region right to our neighborhood, including fresh-picked produce, homemade baked goods, local honey, cheeses, eggs, cider and more!

Come shop after school, say hello to neighbors, and support local farms—all just steps from Murch!
