McMurrary Elementary to Observe Grief Awareness Day

Students and staff are asked to wear blue on Thursday.

On Thursday, Nov. 15, McMurray Elementary staff and students will be going blue to honor Grief Awareness Day in our schools.

Join the school in wearing blue as they come together to show our support for children who have experienced the death of a loved one.

Children's Grief Awareness Day is also observed nationally. It's designed to help all become more aware of the needs of grieving children and of the benefits that they obtain through the support of others.
