Muraski Media Center March Mayhem
lot of things are looking different this year . . . including the Muraski Birthday Book Club. Even with all the challenges of the past year, there is still a way to celebrate / honor your child or loved one and to give back to the school as well! Please use the CheddarUp link to sign up below and donate $20 $15 toward the purchase of a new book for the Muraski Media Center. A brand new book will be assigned to your child (we will do our best to consider age and gender). Then, a bookplate stating the book was donated in honor of your child will be placed inside the front of the book cover. This is not a fundraiser! All funds go toward the books and supplies.
If you are looking for a way to help out during these challenging times, or if you are trying to commemorate your child’s time at Muraski Elementary School, then please consider joining in this Muraski Media Center March Mayhem!
If you have any questions, please contact Joy Slonaker at 440-570-2845 or joyous52003@yahoo.com. Thank you!
