Need volunteers on Friday
We need parent volunteers to help on Friday, March 3, from 8 am-12 pm with 5th grade scheduling in the computer lab. Murchison is having each student enter their own choice sheet selections into the online system. Ideally, we would like to have parent volunteers who can help look over selections before they are submitted to Murchison. If you are available for all or part of this time, please let us know that you would be willing to help by calling the school – 512-414-4484 or email [email protected]. If we do not get volunteers, we will do the best we can with a skeleton crew.

In Camp Story Wranglers students will explore story-writing, songwriting, costume and prop design, as well as acting, to create a new, thrilling, hilarious, weird, poignant, SNL-style, you-name-it production. The camp will not only challenge students to be creative writers, but will challenge them to bring their stories to life. Campers will be featured in a final performance downtown at Stateside at the Paramount on the final day of camp. Registration is now open and scholarships are available!
