8th Grade Annual Fundraiser
Due to COVID, The 8th Grade Graduation Committee and Marie Murphy are not able to fundraise as they have in past years. As a way to generate funds without compromising safety, the 8th Grade Graduation Committee has created a GoFundMe page where any parent or community member can make a donation to support graduation activities for the Class of 2021. If you are interested in supporting the committee and our soon-to-be Marie Murphy graduates, please click below! Thank you for your support.
