R.C. Murphy Junior High School recently held its much-anticipated annual Staff vs. Student basketball game, an event that brings together school spirit, friendly competition and plenty of excitement.

Organized by the physical education and world language departments, the event is a highlight of the year for both students and faculty. A key part of the lead-up to the game is a 3-on-3 basketball tournament held each March, in celebration of March Madness. The tournament is coordinated by world language teacher Mr. Geoninatti and open to all students.

The winning teams from the eighth and ninth grade brackets earn the unique opportunity to represent the student body in the final Staff vs. Student game. This year’s matchup showcased the talent, teamwork and sportsmanship of both sides, with the gym filled with cheers and support from the entire school community.

On Friday, April 11, the Three Village Central School District proudly participated in Purple Up! For Military Kids to recognize April as the Month of the Military Child. This nationwide initiative honors the strength, resilience and sacrifices of children in military families.

Students, faculty and staff wore purple, the color representing all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, creating a powerful visual display of unity and support throughout the district. Student Government members helped raise awareness with posters, while the Rho Kappa Social Studies Honor Society added to the celebration with a themed photo frame and photo station.

Although the national date falls on April 15, the district celebrated early to ensure full student participation ahead of spring break. The event served as a heartfelt reminder of the district’s continued appreciation for military-connected children and their families.
