Mrs. Schucker's Class Shows their KidWriting Progress!

Mrs. Schucker's Kindergarten Class has presented this video for your viewing pleasure!  As you can see, the students are making great progress in learning to write through the KidWriting program!  The students enjoyed reading the story Hide Clyde in class, and then writing about Clyde...a chameleon who has trouble learning his colors.  The students did a great job with their writing and coloring.

Thank you, Mrs. Schucker's Class!

Get Your Pink On!

IT'S A PINK-OUT
On Friday, February 24th, the students and employees of the
Northampton Area School District are encouraged to WEAR PINK in
recognition of "International Wear Pink Day". By wearing pink, we are
recognizing the ongoing efforts world-wide to prevent bullying in
schools, work and in our lives. We want to show our support for this
effort, and join the millions across the world who will be wearing
pink this Friday. Our goal, to have a complete "Pink-Out" across the
entire District!

So take a stand against bullying, and "get your pink on" this Friday!

Name the Mascot Contest!

From February 13th through February 20th, students at Moore can submit their entries for the Name the Mascot Contest!  Students must complete an entry form (which they will receive on Monday, Feb. 13th) and place it into the entry box located in the Main Office.  Only one entry per student, and no entries will be accepted from parents or school staff.

The entries will then be listed in the APR the week of Feb. 20 - 24, and a list of the top-10 name-entries will be selected from a panel of teachers.  Students will then vote on their favorite during homeroom the week of Feb. 27 - March 2.  The winning name will then be announced on Monday, March 12th.  The student who submitted the winning entry will receive a "special prize" from the Mountain Lion as a thank you for giving it a name!

We thank the PTA for purchasing and donating the Mountain Lion to Moore last Spring!

Good Luck!

Seating Changes Announced

On Friday (2/3/2012), seating changes were announced in some classes due to ongoing issues and concerns that have been occurring during lunch.  These new seating assignments will begin on Monday, February 6th.  Also on Monday, a note from Mr. Dimmick will be sent home with those classes whose seats were changed, explaining to parents the purpose behind these new seating arrangements.

Please know that this is one step in taking a stand against bullying in our school.  Moore Elementary is moving full-speed ahead with our Olweus Bullying Prevention Program, and we are focused on creating an environment that is safe and comfortable for all students.  Our goal through OBPP is to have Moore Elementary be a "no bullying zone".

We hope that we can count on you, the Moore parents, to reinforce our efforts of teaching children that bullying is not acceptable, and that no one should be treated badly just because they are different in some way.  We are ALL Moore Elementary School students, we are ALL Mountain Lions, and we are ALL one family...a "Pride"...and we are going to say NO to bullying!
