Happy Thanksgiving!!

                                                                     

It's hard to believe that in less than two weeks we will be celebrating Thanksgiving! What an exciting time to be with friends and family. Murdock's holiday feast takes place on Wednesday, November 15th. We would love to have you attend, but please send a note into your child's classroom teacher to let them know how many are coming. We need to let Ms. Paulette know ahead so she can plan for enough servings.

It's important to remember that as life gets busy our students still have to remain focused. You can help them to do this by continuing to encourage them with their school work and making sure they get enough rest. Meanwhile, our teachers will continue to emphasize the importance and 'fun' of learning by way of our annual Holiday Reading Challenge.  Each grade level will be challenging their classes to read over the Winter Holiday Break, and all those participating will receive a special reward for their efforts.  Last year we had approximately 50% of the students who participated.  Let's work together to challenge ourselves to get 100% participation this year!!

Educating our children takes dedication on the part of both school and home. We are very lucky at Murdock to have such a supportive group of individuals in both places!!! Thank you for all that you do to support your child's education and enthusiasm for learning.  We could not do it without you.
