I hope you and your family are having a wonderful summer! Whether you've been traveling, spending time with family and friends, enjoying the pool, or simply soaking up a slower pace, I hope this break has provided time to relax and recharge.

While it's certainly been much quieter around Munford without our students filling the hallways, we've been hard at work preparing for another incredible school year. Throughout the summer, we've been planning, organizing, and getting everything ready to ensure a smooth and successful start when we welcome our Monarchs back later this month!

We can't wait to see all of our returning students and meet the newest members of our Munford family. Until then, enjoy the rest of your summer, make lots of wonderful memories, and keep an eye on this newsletter for important back-to-school information and upcoming events.

Clear Backpacks Provided by RPS: Richmond Public Schools will be providing clear backpacks for all students this year! These will be distributed directly to students during Open House.

School Supplies: If you are new to Mary Munford, you can skip the traditional school supply shopping trip! Instead, Munford families pay a one-time supply fee at the beginning of the year, and our teachers purchase all necessary supplies in bulk for the entire classroom. Families consistently tell us this approach saves a lot of time and turns out significantly cheaper!

You are welcome to get a head start by paying your school supply fee alongside your activity fees right now on PTBoard. Because homeroom assignments haven't been posted yet, simply skip the homeroom section on the form when submitting your payment.
