If you would like your child to participate in the Fundraiser for our playground, please send money with your child that day. The Kona Truck will be at our school on May 8th.
5th Graders!
The first ever professionally framed Muraski 5th grade Art Show
June 6th along with 5th grade Graduation celebration ceremony!
This year Mrs. Harbart wrote a grant for 100 professional frames and matting for all of the fifth graders. Together for many weeks Mrs. Harbart and the 5th graders, have recreated Vincent Vangogh's famous art work the Starry Night in colored pencil with several layers of his linear style.
Each student will have their masterpiece matted and framed and displayed in the Muraski atrium glass gallery, just like a real artist gallery.
Upon the 5th Grade Celebration, the visitors will be able to view their works.
The BEST part is that EACH 5th grader will then be able to take their framed art work with them.
Mrs. Harbart wanted each student to have a professional special memory of their school and artistic growth.
Thank you to Mrs. Harbart for all her work on the project and always thinking about our Muraski students.
A message from Ms. Candow
Preparing for Next Year...
If you are planning to move or withdraw your child from Muraski Elementary School for any reason, please let us know immediately. There are some papers that need to be filled out
. Additionally, if you know of a neighbor or friend who might be enrolling their student at Muraski for next school year, please ask them to contact the school office for details about enrolling. This is especially important for any 1st graders coming to us from other kindergarten programs in the area. The more information we have and the sooner we get it, the better prepared we are to plan for next year.
Thank you for your help!
