Principal's Message
East Bay Mud- Work on Murwood Dr. and Murwood Ct.
You may have noticed that EBMUD has been working on these streets which feed to the school entrance from the baseball fields. We have been notified that they will be doing some drilling/digging next week on Murwood Ct. and Murwood Dr. They have assured me that the stairs will remain open, however, please use caution when walking through these areas.
WCEF Read-a-Thon
We are so excited for WCEF’s 4th Annual Read-a-thon to read, read, read and raise funds for our school. So far, we have read 12,807 minutes and raised $6,983! Way to go Mustangs! Remember, both in school and at home reading minutes count. Our school wide goal is to read 100,000 minutes and I know our Marvelous Mustangs can do this!
So far 62 or our 411 students are signed up. There is still time to sign up on Pledgestar:
There is a Pledgestar app!! Pledgestar is how you track reading minutes and funds raised, and they have an app to make it easy. You can also customize your child’s request, translate it into 50 languages, and more. To sign up visit pledgestar.com/wcef. Complete information can be found at wcefk12.org/readathon.
September is Attendance Awareness Month
Life can be challenging. Setbacks occur. Develop a back-up plan for getting your student(s) to school. Connect with a neighbor, friend or link with a carpool to ensure your student can always get to school.

Notes From the Office
Breakfast and Lunch at Murwood
School meals are an opportunity for you to save time and money while your child enjoys a hot nutritious meal. Thanks to CA’s Universal Meals program, all students may receive one free breakfast and one free lunch each day they are in school. Breakfast is served starting at 7:45am (8:30am on Wednesdays). If your child would like an additional breakfast or lunch they must pay for it. To view menus or to set up a lunch account please visit our Child Nutrition Services page HERE.
Happy Noshing!

Walk & Roll to School Day - October 4th
The 27th annual Walk & Roll to School Day is coming up on October 4th! We encourage everyone who is able to walk, bike, scooter, etc. to school on the morning of October 4th.
Walking Club Volunteers Needed!
WCEF’s 4th Annual Read-a-thon is here!
Our 4th annual Read-a-thon started strong on Monday with SO many readers and minutes logged! There’s still plenty of time to join in the fun and raise money to help WCEF ensure all students have access to a comprehensive education, open libraries, and a vast array of enrichment opportunities. Our goal is to raise $180,000! We can do this.
DID YOU KNOW? Only 9% of schools in California benefit from a credentialed librarian and 50% of library funding comes from the community. It's up to us to support our libraries!
Exciting prizes include gift cards to the students with the most sponsors, top readers per school, we even have principals willing to be silly stringed—all in the name of reading!!
WCEF’s 2022-23 Annual Report is here!
