The Murphy Fun Run is a healthy and educational fundraising alternative that is held each school year.  It promotes positive character qualities, healthy habits, and teamwork, all while supporting our school!  It is also Murphy Elementary's BIGGEST FUNDRAISER of the school year. This year's Murphy Fun Run will be held on Friday, September 29, 2023.

During the event, each student will be given a race number and pedometer to wear.  They will head outside with their teachers (in the gym if the weather doesn't cooperate), where they will be met by a team of volunteers that will guide them through stretches on the basketball court.  Afterwards the children will head to the field area beside the basketball court to run, jog, skip or walk laps on a preset course, all while jamming to some upbeat tunes and hanging out with their peers. Playmakers has also agreed to donate a race clock and large banners to spice up the event this year and we are adding in some bubble fun to the run!

This event is organized and run by members of the Murphy PTO and other Murphy Family Volunteers.  All proceeds from this event go to supporting Murphy Elementary’s building and classroom needs such as field trips, educational tools, classroom magazines, Mileage Club, Fun Food Fridays, D.A.R.E. T-Shirts, Ice Cream Carnival, conference dinners for teachers, Pastries with Parents, Teacher & Staff  Appreciation Week and so much more.

If your place of business has a “Matching Program” and you would be interested in supporting Murphy Elementary even more, please contact the Murphy Elementary Office at (517)-339-8253.

Thank you for your support, it takes a village!
