Movie Night Volunteers Needed
Movie Night at Marie Murphy is a fun opportunity to sit on a picnic blanket, eat popcorn and candy and watch a movie that the whole family will love. This year's movie is Puss in Boots (2011)! We need a few volunteers on Sunday, January 15 from 5-7 p.m. to help the night run smoothly. Please sign up below and contact Melanie Morrow at [email protected] for questions.

PTC Movie Night

Pay for your movie tickets via Membership Toolkit, a check (payable to the Avoca PTC), or cash to your child's teacher in an envelope addressed to the PTC. 

Fun Fair Volunteers Needed
We need volunteers to help put on the largest school event of the year, the 2023 Avoca West Fun Fair on February 26, 2023. The Fun Fair is an annual event where the school is transformed into a carnival-like atmosphere with games, music, fun activities, prizes, teacher raffles, and a silent auction for parents.
