A Special Thank You...

Moore Elementary School would like to take a moment to thank all of the parents, volunteers, teachers, students and of course our special guests - the Veterans, who attended/participated and planned our Veterans Day celebration on Monday.  We want to recognize the hard work and dedication that our committee members exhibited throughout the planning process, and the support of our PTA and parents.  The event was amazing, and continues to be a vital part of the education of our students.  Hearing first-hand the history of our United States Armed Forces, and the sacrifices that our troops have made over the decades, is truly something they won't learn from just reading a book.  We cannot express enough our gratitude to all that served and continue to serve, and we appreciate all of our guests taking the time to visit with our students.

I would like to personally recognize Mr. Brian Muschlitz and Mrs. Rachel Karc for their efforts in organizing the event.  Their countless hours of hard work made the day possible and one that many of our Veterans will remember for the rest of their lives!  Our committee members - Mrs. Dremock, Mrs. Meade, Mrs. Longacre, Mrs. Schucker, Mrs. Dalrymple, Mrs. Maxwell, Mrs. Hageman, Ms. Haley, Mrs. Herr, Mrs. Schaffer, Mr. Gradwohl, Mr. Cummings Mr. Duell, Mr. Harrison and Mr./Mrs. Decker - all deserve recognition for their work, as well!

Thank you again, and Moore looks forward to continuing with our annual event in future years!

Moore Clothing Sale

Order forms for our annual Moore Elementary Mountain Lions clothing sale are being sent home with students on Friday, November 7th.  All orders + money are due November 18th - we will have the items by the winter break.  This is a great way for you and your child to show their Moore Pride out in the community, and make a wonderful holiday gift for someone!

Some samples will be placed in the office for sizing during the week of Parent Conferences, if you'd like to check for accurate sizing.

Any questions, please contact Mr. Dimmick.

Coin Drive at Moore

The Moore Environmental Club will be holding a coin drive to help the Save the Manatee Foundation beginning on Monday, November 4^th and running until Friday, November 8^th.  Money can be turned in to your child's homeroom teacher.  All of the money collected will be donated to the Save the Manatee Foundation, and we hope to raise enough money for Moore Elementary to adopt our very own manatee.  Thank you for your support.  We hope you will participate in this great environmental cause.

Our Thoughts Are With You

In the wake of yesterday's horrific storms that passed through Moore, Oklahoma...our thoughts are with the students, faculty and families of Plaza Towers Elementary School and Briarwood Elementary School.  Our heartfelt condolences are sent to those who lost loved-ones and possessions in the storm, and we send our Moore strength to you as you recover from this tragedy.

Lunch Account Balances

As the school year comes to a close, please be sure to settle any negative balances that your student(s) may have before the end of the year.  Lunches will not be served during the half-days, June 4-10.  You can either settle the negative balances online (through your MySchoolBucks.com account) or by sending money to school.  As of May 17th, we have 77 students with negative balances, totaling over $380 outstanding.  Throughout the year Negative Balance slips have been given to your student(s) when their accounts dropped below $0.00, and a letter will be sent home on or about June 4 to those students who still have a negative balance.  Please note that it is your responsibility to settle any debts.  At no time were students denied a lunch if their balance was in the negative, however their lunch "choices" (items) were limited.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

6th Grade Trip

Just a reminder to parents of 6th Grade students at Moore....the class field trip to Camp Onus was rescheduled to May 18th - this Saturday!  We hope you can still make it, and we hope the kids have a great day!

The Zoo Comes to Moore

On Friday, January 25th, the PTA sponsored an in-school program for the students in Grade 1.  The Lehigh Valley Zoo brought their travelling show to the school, that included some cute and cuddly (and not so cuddly) friends!  The presentation was a hit with the students, and they learned a great deal of valuable information about the unique animals and ways to help keep animals safe.  The Lehigh Valley Zoo has been a frequent visitor to our school over the years, and we are very grateful for their willingness to share their expertise and time with us.

We thank the PTA for their continued support of our students and the education they receive, and we appreciate their time and effort in securing the presentations (a special thank you to Mrs. Karc for all your hard work with our in-school programs)!

 
Here are a few photos of our visitors from the Zoo during their visit...enjoy!

Moore Science Fair

On Wednesday night, Moore Elementary held their 6th Grade Science Fair.  The evening featured an opportunity for the students to present their Science research projects that they worked on throughout the 2nd Semester to their peers, parents, and community members.  It was a wonderful evening, and we had an amazing turn-out!  We were very pleased with the projects, and with the performance of the students - both in their projects and their presentations!

We had several judges who utilized a rubric-system to award the top-3 winners.  We would like to thank them for their time and expertise.  The judges were: Mr. Gogel - NASD Board President, Mrs. Miller - NASD Board Member, Mrs. Hanner - NASD Dir. of Curriculum, Ms. Monteith - NASD Reading Supervisor, Mr. Wilde - NASD High School Physics Teacher, and Ms. Golas - Moore Kindergarten Teacher and Science Teacher.

The top-3 place-winners, based on the judges scores, were:

1st Place - Tyler B.

2nd Place - Colby H.

3rd Place - Jaelee Y.

Congratulations to our winners, and to all of the students who participated in this wonderful event.

A special thank you to Mrs. Cramer - Moore 6th Grade Science Teacher, and Mrs. Shaner - Moore Reading IST and 6th Grade Gifted Teacher for their efforts in developing the Science Fair.  We'd also like to thank the Moore PTA and the 6th Grade Events Committee for providing refreshments throughout the event.

Great job, everyone!
