We're Building the Road to Ground-Breaking Success!
MOE won the Little Red Schoolhouse Award
last year for the 7th year in
a row, and we were an “A” FCAT school, also for the 7th year in a row--and
now it's 8 years in a row!!
Many thanks to everyone for all your hard work!
Contribute to our efforts
to keep up the good work by:
- Joining the MOE PTA! Dues are
just $5 for the whole school year. (More information
here)
- Supporting Our Fundraisers
(Donations are also welcome).
- Volunteering: Opportunities range from
rewarding short, one-time activities to even-more-rewarding
long-term commitments. (More information
here and on
the Volunteers page.)
- Advocating for
Children: PTA is the nation's largest volunteer
child advocacy group, and we need you to join your
voice to ours to create a powerful voice to
guarantee the education and well-begin of all
children. (More information on the
Advocacy page.)
- Saving Box Tops and otherwise supporting the
school through your shopping. (More information on the
BoxTops and
Support School pages.)
Check back often for news about specials that can
benefit both you and the school.
- Recycling paper
in the bins in the car rider circle. MOE
is paid for any paper--all types of paper, from
office paper to magazines and newspapers--submitted
for recycling through these bins.
- Supporting our
programs that benefit the community.
♥
For
instance, we collect aluminum pop tops (such
as the ones from soda cans) for Ronald McDonald
House. Just put the pop tops in a plastic
baggie, label the baggie "PTA," and turn the baggie
into the school office or send it into class with
your child.
- Purchasing and
using MOE Spirit Items.

participating in any of the activities and programs
