Rita Murphy PTO

Dear Bulldog Families,
Your support this year for our new school store, The Barking Lot, has been incredible! The enthusiasm and motivation to earn Bark Outs and Pawsitive Paws reached a new level, creating more opportunities for students to receive positive reinforcement and consistently display the Murphy B’s. Acknowledging the positives is an important part of our school-wide systems because we know that what we acknowledge…we get more of! Seeing students excited to make positive choices, encourage others, and work toward goals has been one of the highlights of the year.

As we begin planning for next school year, your help is greatly needed and appreciated in helping us restock the shelves of The Barking Lot. Students and teachers completed surveys to share feedback about what they enjoyed “shopping” for this year and what they would love to see added in the fall. Based on their input, we created an updated Amazon Wish List, which is linked.

Thank you for collaborating with us and joining in on the “fun” as we celebrate students through our school store! It truly warms our hearts to see the smiles on our Bulldogs as they “purchase” items with the positive reinforcements they have earned by giving their personal best.

The chilly temps didn’t affect enjoying lemonade today! $516 was raised and will be split between The Central Dakota Humane Society and Furry Friends Rockin Rescue! Thank you for supporting our furry friends! Bulldogs sure know how to show kindness ❤️

Hello! Our last PTO meeting of the school year is happening tomorrow! We'll meet in the library with students enjoying a treat and movie in the library media space while families discuss important next steps for Rita Murphy. Hope to see you there!
