Welcome Buddy Program
The PTC is still in search of 2-4 veteran families to pair with our new families as a Welcome Buddy. Please reach out to Melanie Morrow at [email protected]. There is a minimal time commitment. Volunteer families are asked to be available by phone or email to be a resource/friendly connection for new families.
8th Grade Fundraiser
Take a night off from cooking and support the Marie Murphy 8th Grade Committee by ordering from Lou Malnati's-Wilmette on Wednesday, October 27 (the first night of conferences)! Lou's will donate 20 percent of all sales that mention the MM 8th Grade Committee, so be sure to either say you're ordering for the Marie Murphy fundraiser - or use the code in the attached flier for online/app orders. Thanks for your support!
Comunita Choral Ensemble
It is not too late for 1st-5th graders to sign up for the Monday choral ensemble, Comunita, which started this week. It is a wonderful way for students to prepare their bodies, minds, and voices for a week of academic and social-emotional learning. Here is the information and permission slip. Please reach out to Elizabeth Weismehl at [email protected] for more information.
