Two students from Mary T. Murphy, accompanied by their families, received the SCASA Student Recognition award at La Bella Vista. These well-deserving students were selected for this award because of their academic achievements, character and their commitment to be role models in their school community.
Murphy hosted Shannon Hale (Author) and LeUyen Pham (Illustrator) who promoted the joy of reading and writing and the wonder of using the imagination. Each classroom received signed copies of their newly released picture book, Bubbly Beautiful Kitty-Corn .
Murphy presented Art, Literacy and Math Around the World, where students, families and staff gathered together to enjoy student art work. Students also got “passports” and got a stamp as they “traveled the world’ participating in academic games and activities from countries around the world. Families ended the night enjoying falafels from a famous food truck. Murphy proudly engaged the Nepali parent community. Parents worked closely with the EL Department to promote literacy and a love for learning by reading and discussing dual- language picture books with Nepali students in all grade levels. One special visitor during a read aloud session included Ram Shrestha (BOE member) who spoke about what it means to be a great student.
