Holiday Drives - Helping those Who Need

Moore Elementary School will be running a food drive during the month of November.  Beginning November 8th and running through November 21st, we will be collecting non-perishable food to distribute to local families in need.  This will be done through cooperation with local food banks.  Students and their families can drop-off their items at the school in our front lobby area, or give them to their teacher.

Beginning December 1st and running through December 15th, Moore will be participating in our annual Toys for Tots program.  We are collecting new, unwrapped gifts for local children identified through the Salvation Army.  The Toys for Tots program is sponsored by the United States Marine Corps, and we will be working with the USMC Reserve Unit located in the Lehigh Valley.  A donation box will be located in the Moore lobby beginning December 1st, and students/families are invited to drop-off their donations at any time.  A full-dress USMC Reserve will be at Moore on December 15th to collect all of the donations, and will also take donations directly from the students beginning at 8:45am.  What a great opportunity for our students!  this is the 27th year that Moore will be participating in the Toys for Tots program!

We thank you in advance for helping local families in need, and supporting the efforts of Moore Elementary School!
