🌍 Happy Earth Day! 🌱 Let's take a moment to appreciate and celebrate this beautiful planet we call home.
On Saturday, we joined forces with the Chicago Park District and Nicholas Park to clean up the neighboring parks around our school and community in honor of Earth Day. It was truly inspiring to see so many people come together to help care for our community. Together, let's commit to making a positive impact. Every small action counts! #EarthDay #ProtectOurPlanet #GoGreen 🌎✨

Please join us as we partner with Nicholas Park District, once again, for Earth Day. Students and their families (if they wish) are welcome to participate in the event from 10am till 1pm. We appreciate any and all help!!
For our 3rd quarter service project we decided to help out another school in need. We went to Robert A. Black Magnet School at 7:30am and stayed there until dismissal. Overall, it was a wonderful experience! Both the teachers and the students that we assisted were nice and very appreciative of our service. We helped teachers organize their classrooms, grade papers, tutor students, and clean out their multipurpose rooms. We definitely would love to go back and/or assist another neighboring school in need!!
The Murray Chapter of NJHS (National Junior Honor Society), is a prestigious organization, selects students not only for their academic excellence (scholarship) but also for their demonstrated strengths in leadership, citizenship, and character, and service. This year, the NJHS Advisory Board selected 20 students. These 20 students have been working the past two months on understanding and committing themselves to the 5 pillars. Yesterday, Decemeber 21st, 2023, they were officially inducted into the society.
The NJHS members started our first annual Winter Clothing Drive this year and it just ended Monday, Dec. 4th. The drive was a HUGE success, with over 25 large garbage bags full of clothes donated. We did things a little differently, and instead of donating everything to one place... members took bags to their own favorite drop off location. We are VERY THANKFUL for everyone that donated and helped us serve those that need it the most this season. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
On November 29th, 2023, during our meeting... The NJHS Murray Chapter took time to wish a special Happy Holidays to US Soliders and Sailors oversees who won't be home for the holidays. In all honesty, we were only able to make about 25 cards within the allotted time we had... so we decided to solicit the help from all Murray students. Thursday morning, we asked all Murray students if they were willing, to help us create more cards. WE APPRECIATE ALL OF THE CARDS WE RECEIVED FROM YOU ALL!!! Service means so much to us and for you all to contribute your time and efforts to help us... it made this opportunity so much more special. Your personalized signed holiday cards and letters reflected your genuine support and appreciation for our military heroes, letting them know that they are not alone during the winter holiday season.
Monday, October 30th, 2023 decisions went out to all applicants. Students who were selected for future membership will be attending meetings to prepare for their upcoming induction ceremony. At the upcoming ceremony, these students will become an official member of the National Junior Honor Society Murray Language Academy Chapter. Please congratulate these students when you see them on a job well done!
Our National Junior Honor Society members are spearheading a mission to collect gently worn clothing for those in need. We're reaching out to our supportive families and students to contribute. From now until the beginning of December (December 4th), we welcome your generous donations. Your contributions not only benefit our broader community but also underscore the values of empathy and kindness that we cherish at Murray. Let's come together to make a difference!
On Friday September 16th, 2023, several students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade received an application packet to be inducted into the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). Membership in NJHS is one of the highest honors that can be awarded to a student. Our chapter strives to give practical meaning to the National Society's standards of scholarship, leadership, service, citizenship, and character. These students have been at Murray for at least one semester and have exhibited excellence in both academic performance and behavior. The application process is both very complex and extremely detailed and we wish the best of luck to these students. Inductions happen annually in the Fall semester of school and we will be keeping a lookout for a new round of applicants in the Spring because it's never too late to turn things around and become the best version of yourself.
