Dynamite Dinosaurs

Publix

This PUBLIX program has amazing potential for earning money for Murdock.  It is unlike "typical" Boxtops promotions as it is entered online.  Each family can earn up to 10 dollars for Murdock by buying  up to 12 Boxtops products with peel off labels.  Grandparents and other relatives can also enter and earn (by designating Murdock as their school of choice).  EACH HOUSEHOLD ADDRESS can earn up to 10 dollars!!! The promotion ends on 2/15.  Nothing gets turned into school.  It is all online!!!!!

Winter Warmth

Spread some warmth during the holidays by donating a new pair of gloves or mittens or a hat or scarf for children in need of warm clothes. Students will take their donations to the media center to decorate the "mitten tree." On 12/21, everything will be given to MUST Ministries for distribution to children at the shelter. Please help us spread some warmth!
