Anyone who would like to adopt a family can contact Murry at marit.murry@kent.k12.wa.us or at Mill Creek at 253-373-6143.

Murry spoke to the Kent City Council on Tuesday night about the need for help. Councilwoman Elizabeth Albertson and Councilman Bill Boyce each said they would support a family.
