Latest News

Last Friday evening just before midnight the Murray Elem Language Academy parent-teacher association successfully set up a wonderfully fun, highly entertaining and incredibly well attended community family movie night event. They projected a brand new, high grossing animated feature film onto a giant, high definition screen set up right in the middle of the main school gym. The kids were excited, bringing their own comfortable sleeping bags, putting on their favorite pajamas, and thoroughly enjoying eating freshly popped, buttery popcorn with their friends during the whole delightful and memorable cinematic experience.
