Murray Messenger 10/20/17 A Note From The Principal Dear MHMS Families, The Murray Hill Middle School students and staff enjoyed engaging in Spirit Week this week. It was fun to see the school spirit as so many participated in “Pajama Pants Day,” “Look-A-Like Day,” “Superhero Day,” and “MHMS Spiritwear Day.” Also, this week, our 7th grade team facilitated their Annual Poe Museum. What a fun culminating event and a way for our students to showcase their talents. Thank you to all of the staff members who made this wonderful experience such a success. Next week, 6th grade students will attend our Outdoor Education field trip. The trip runs from Wednesday, October 25th through Friday, October 27th. Please remember that all students may bring one piece of luggage with them. It can be any size, as long as the student can carry it themselves. Students may also have one small personal bag such as a string backpack, that they can carry around during the day with them. Students do not need to bring any of their school supplies to school on Wednesday if they are going on the trip. Students attending the trip, may arrive at school starting at 7:45 on Wednesday morning. Please make sure you have brought any medications to the health room before Wednesday!
