Mary Francis was a dedicated and beloved teacher and colleague at Martin Murphy Middle School.  She shared her love of gardening with her students by establishing the Murphy Garden.  This was a place where students could learn first hand about science, but Mary also hoped that gardening would become a passion for her students.

Martin Murphy Middle School will dedicate a bench in the garden to Mary Francis.  Her family would like to make sure that this garden continues to be funded for the students and staff at the school Mary loved so much. 

All funds gathered here will go towards sustaining the Murphy Garden for students, staff, and the community in Mary Francis's name.
