Where Has the Summer Gone?

I'm sure that many of you are wondering "Where has the summer gone?"  As we settle into the month of August, school starts in 15 days!  Wow...it seems like just yesterday that we were waving to the students as they pulled away in the buses the last day of school!  Many of us have spent the summer going to camps, the beach, amusement parks, vacations spots, or simply in our yards and houses, trying to fit in as much as we can before we have to go back to school.  I hope that everyone enjoyed their summer, I know I did!

Moore Elementary School will look the same as it did when the students left us, only much cleaner thanks to the hard work of our custodial staff over the summer.  A special thanks to Mr. Loch, Ms. Braren, Mr. Eberly, Mr. George, and Mr. Measchoch for all of their efforts to make our school the best that it can be! 

The school will, however, "feel" different for all of the students!  We welcome some new teachers to our building - Mrs. Figueroa and Mrs. Schooler to 6th Grade...and Ms. Foster (for Ms. Miller), Ms. Biechy (for Ms. Schaffer) and Ms. Quigley (for Ms. Maxwell) who will be serving as long-term substitutes in the Fall.  We will also be starting our School-Wide Positive Behavior Support (SWPBS) program called "Moore Pride".  We will spend a lot of time at the beginning of the school year to "teach" the students about the program and the rules that go along with Moore Pride.  We are excited about the program, and hope that all of our students become excited as well!

So...begin your Back to School shopping, and make your final vacation plans for the final 15 days of vacation, and I will see you on September 1st!
