2023 Earth Day Cleanup 
Gloves and trash bags will be provided and Green Committee members will direct volunteers. If you have gardening gloves, a small bucket, or a trash bin at home, please bring them along to use during the cleanup. Every piece of trash we pick up will help to clean up our school and community and keep our environment beautiful for all. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday! 
Food Service Survey for Caregivers
The survey has three parts. The first one is for everyone. The second one is for Avoca West and the third one is for Marie Murphy. The submit button is at the end of the Marie Murphy section. Students in grades 3-8 will also complete a survey at school.

Avoca "Authorator" Visit
Thanks to our PTC, Authorator David Biedzrycki will visit Avoca West and Marie Murphy on April 25! It is rare to find an author/illustrator that appeals to kids of all ages (including grown-up kids), but David does just that! David is well known for his engaging, entertaining, and educational school visits that focus on the story-writing process, imagination, creativity, and digital art.

We are looking forward to a great day beginning with 2 presentations at Avoca West in the morning, followed by lunch with a few lucky 3rd-5th grade students, and ending with a 6th-8th grade presentation at Marie Murphy. If you would like to order personalized signed copies of Mr. Biedrzycki's books, please use this form. Checks should be made payable to "David Biedzrycki" and are due no later than April 20. We are looking forward to an inspirational day and are so appreciative of our PTC for sponsoring this district-wide event!
