Welcome to Mary Munford Elementary!
Happening at Mary Munford
The countdown to summer is on! The last day of school for the 2025-2026 school year is Friday, May 29, 2026. We wish all our students a wonderful and safe break!
Looking ahead, we can't wait to welcome our Monarchs back to the classroom. For all Mary Munford K-5th grade students, the first day of the 2026-2027 school year will be Monday, August 24, 2026.
Join us on the lawn Wednesday, May 20th, for a night of community fun and prizes! Grab your lawn chairs and picnic blankets to claim your spot; Springo Bingo kicks off at 6:30 PM, with Firesides 804 on-site to serve up dinner while you play.
We are also thrilled to host a Mini Welcome Tour for our rising kindergarteners at 6:00 PM (Westmoreland entrance)—please help us spread the word to any new Monarch families in the neighborhood!
Let’s send off the school year in style, Munford! 🦋 The SCA is bringing the heat for our final End of School Spirit Week from May 25–29. Whether you’re planning a twin look or a red-carpet moment, we want to see your spirit on full display.
Click this post to see the full daily lineup!
Skip the cooking and support Munford! Join us at Bell Greek (The Village Shopping Center) on Thursday, April 30th, from 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm.
Simply dine in or carry out, and 15% of all proceeds will be donated directly to our school. We hope to see you there!
