Friends of Murphy – Funding Our Future

Friends of Murphy (FOM) is a non-profit fundraising organization to raise funds to help support the students and staff at John B. Murphy Elementary School.

Pumpkin Carving Contest!

If you have not already done so, order your Fall Fest In A Bag to support Athletic Field Park Advisory Council and get an amazing pumpkin and an apple pie. Once you get your pumpkin, start carving or decorating and share it with the community!

Follow the directions below and display your entry the week of 10/26-10/31 so neighbors can walk through the community and enjoy all the Halloween fun!

All entries must be received by the end of the day on 10/25 and will be posted on both FriendsofMurphy.org and AthleticFieldPark.com. Visit and VOTE for your favorites by 10/30! Winners will be announced on Halloween.
