You can contribute to the Murphy through direct giving, volunteering, in-kind donations and more!

  • Direct Giving to the School-Family Council

    Cash donations help the Murphy provide student enrichment activities and support our teachers. Direct giving to the Murphy supports The Murphy Parent-Family Council , a 501c3 Non-Profit organization so all contributions are tax deductible. If you would like to make a large gift towards a specific program please contact us directly so that we can facilitate this.
