PTA COMMITTEE JOB OPENINGS FOR 2010-2011
Please consider chairing one of the following 2010-11 PTA committees so that we can continue
to help our school be the amazing, learning community that it is - without your help, we
won't be able to offer the level of support that we are able to give our teachers,
Murchison staff and our children. This is a wonderful way to get to know our school
and meet other parents. If you have any questions about any of these committees, or
would like more information, please email PTA President Alicia Doak or call 338-1472.

Newsletter Editor/Graphic Designer Postion Available
I'm looking for a replacement newsletter editor/graphic designer. I have held this position since the 2006-07 school year and want to be able to train someone to take it over for the next few years. This has been a wonderful experience and a great way to stay connected to the events of the school and participate on the PTA.
If you have graphic design software and know the basics of how to use it, I can get you up and running to take over this rewarding position. Please contact email me or call 692-9329.
Thanks! Ida Longoria-Berlingeri
