8th Grade Graduation GoFundMe
The Marie Murphy 8th Grade Graduation Fund has been established to pay for the costs associated with the celebration of our eighth graders. Because of Covid restrictions, the 2020-2021 graduation committee cannot hold many of the traditional fundraising activities such as a car wash, so we are holding a virtual fundraiser. To donate to the Marie Murphy 2021 8th Grade Graduation GoFundMe, click here.
