End of Year Staff Appreciation
As we near the end of the school year, we know many Murray families also like to provide staff support with a more personal touch. 
The PTO Hospitality Committee asked our teachers and support staff to tell us bit about themselves and ways we can help.  Visit https://www.vlmpto.org/staff-support.html for a refresher on our teachers' and staff members' favorite things.
