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!
