Fall Semester Exam Schedule, December 18th-21st

Please note that we have early release at 12:40PM on Friday, December 21st.

Yearbook Photos Needed

Yearbook is looking for photographs of MMS students participating in their after school activities. Does you Murphy Maverick play and practice any sports (golf, tennis, soccer, horseback riding, swimming, etc.) after school? What about after school music lessons, or a chess club, or perhaps they volunteer regularly? Are they active in either Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts? We would love to show off these talents and skills in the yearbook.

Please submit photographs (amateur photos only; no professional photos due to releases) to yearbook@mmspta.org by Friday, December 21st. If you have previously submitted photos of your student in Off-Campus PE activities, you do not need to submit again. 

For your convenience, we have a link to this email on mmspta.org > Our School > Submit a Picture for the Yearbook.

In the body of the email, please let us know the name(s) of the student(s) in the photo and the event name. We thank you for your photos, which we will consider for publication in the yearbook.
