She has themed her room around “superheroes” and calls her students the Marvels. This energy carries through in her lessons as students are encouraged to use their superpowers for good. Mrs. Murphy has the ability to reach every child at their level while pushing them to reach their full potential. Mrs. Murphy is a master teacher transforming the lives of students. She works diligently to form relationships with each student, taking the time to understand each one of their unique strengths, interests, and areas of growth by spending time with each student and their parents.
