Supply Lists
Dear Murray Families,
We hope you’re having a wonderful summer. We’re excited to welcome you to a brand-new school year on August 13th!
Murray’s PTO is committed to supporting our students, teachers, and families. To help make the start of the year easier for everyone, the PTO will be purchasing the classroom supplies needed for students in kindergarten through 5th grade this year.
Grades K–5
We kindly ask families of children in grades K-5 to contribute $40 per student (electronic payment via PT Board, cash, or check made payable to Murray PTO). These funds will go directly toward ensuring that every student has the supplies they need to succeed all year long—things like pencils, folders, markers, glue, headphones, and more.
In addition, we are asking 5th graders to personalize their learning by bringing the following items:
-
2” zippered binder
-
Zippered pencil pouch
-
Simple 4-function calculator
There are 3 easy ways to contribute to the School Supply Fund:
-
Pay online via PT Board, Murray PTO’s one-stop shop for PTO happenings. Online payment link
-
Pay via cash or check (made payable to Murray PTO) at Open House (Monday, August 11 from 4-5:30 p.m.)
-
Pay via cash or check (made payable to Murray PTO) to your child’s classroom
teacher or Carla Dodson in the front office.
On September 30, we’ll calculate the total money contributed to the School Supply Fund and divide it proportionally among the 14 classroom teachers. We’ll notify each teacher of the additional amount they have to spend (for more information about classroom funding, check out the link on PT Board).
Thank you for your continued support of the Murray community and for helping ensure that each student has the materials they need to succeed. We’re looking forward to a great year together!
Warmly,
Your 2025-26 PTO Executive Council Officers
