Congratulations!

Congratulations to all of the students and staff at Moore for a
terrific year with the "Moore Pride" positive behavior support
program! Everyone did an outstanding job with the implementation of
the program, and following the expectations outlined for students at
the beginning of the year! We had thousands of paw-tickets and
hundreds of "roars" handed out of students and classrooms over the
year!

As a thank you, and to celebrate the success of the program...the
students and staff will be having a celebration Thursday, May 24th
throughout the day at school. All students will participate in viewing
a Lazer Show in the morning, and will rotate through a water ice
party, Just Dance marathon, and a chance to "purchase" some last
minute rewards off of the cart during the afternoon. The day will also
include a dunk tank, in which students will have a chance to dunk some
of the teachers...and their Principal, Mr. Dimmick!

Students and staff are asked to wear Moore attire to help celebrate
the school...and we're hoping "Whiskers" the Lion will make an
appearance throughout the day!

Also, we'd like to congratulate the students of Bus 19 and their
driver, Mr. Thrash, for winning the "Great Bus Race" ...and those
students and their driver will receive a pizza party tomorrow as well!
It was a close race, but Bus 19 earned over 70 tickets for outstanding
behavior on their bus the last two months!

Thank you to everyone for being "Respectful, Responsible, Ready and
Safe" and showing their Moore Pride!

Alex's Lemonade Stand

The students of Moore Elementary School participated in the "Alex's Lemonade Stand" last Friday (April 27th) to raise funds that will help in the research of childhood cancer.

We would like thank all of you very much for helping out and being so cooperative with our first Moore Elementary Alex's Lemonade Stand.  Your support is greatly appreciated.  From our Faculty "Jeans Day", the lemonade stand in the APR, and online contributions...we were able to raise $420 to help children and families dealing with childhood cancer.  Once again, thank you so much for helping to support such a wonderful organization.  Hopefully, we will be able to participate again next year.  Remember what Alex Scott always said, "When life gives you lemons, just make lemonade!"
