My children are attending Murwood and I know it is the perfect place for them. teachers are warm and friendly. The school through the efforts of the Walnut Creek Education Fund and the PTA cover all those things that are missing these days from public school. The parent involvement is almost overwhelming. Sometimes I feel like a crappy parent because all the moms I see seem like super moms volunteering and such. The after school center is fun, but very loud and messy. It seems to be the place that kids want to be. The after school programs put on by the PTA are great. reasonably priced.
My child has attended Murwood since Kindergarten and I have loved every minute. My child in my opinion is recieving the very best education possible. The teachers are diverse in their teaching style, the staff from the custodian to principal is approachable and friendly. The parents are enthusiastic and dedicated. the after school care facility Keyspot is great. I feel like the school is a home away from home.
The Walnut Creek School District is small with only 5 elementary schools & one middle school. This is part of the reason our school is so successful; Another is the quality & dedication of our excellent teachers & the high level of parent participation. Our PTA/parents raise funds to have extra-curricular activities, have including piano, hip-hop, drama, band, science, to name a few. We have Arrt, Physical Education & Science (and a Science Fair starting last year) for all kids. In Walnut Creek many kids participate in sports & the school grounds are available for baseball & soccer. Three years ago a Boy Scout Pack was started. Programs for speech & IEP are, of course available, but the professionals who work in these areas are dedicated & hard-working. Murwood is also a diverse school - with many ethnic groups & languages we are proud of. A 'Distinguished School'. A terrific school.
