Below is a list of items that are needed for art classes throughout the school year. If you would like to donate any of these items please send them in to school with your child. THANKS!
Students in grades K-5 are busy creating artwork and adding to their art portfolios. Students will take home all remaining artwork at the end of this school year. Artwork will be selected from students' portfolios in the coming months for art displays at K.T. Murphy and in the community.
We are hoping to have some helping hands in the busy art show season ahead with labeling, framing and matting artwork for display.

The K.T. Murphy CARES Mural was created in 2009-2011 by K.T. Murphy students in grades K-5. The mural represents the social skills of cooperation, assertion, responsibility, empathy and self-control. The CARES mural is located in the hallway outside of the gymnasium.
