Did you know Moffet has a BOOK VENDING MACHINE?

We are so grateful to AUrate for their generous support of our Moffet readers!  AUrate’s donation allowed us to keep our book vending machine stocked with amazing books and to keep our students reading.

AUrate’s philosophy: We don’t just believe in the gold standard, we live by it.  At our core, we maintain that everyone deserves jewelry that is worthy of them. So, we focus on what really matters: durable materials that withstand everyday wear and tear, transparent pricing as friendly as your neighbor’s dog, sustainable practices to protect our planet, and tangible giving to keep our conscious sparkling.

2022-23 School Year

STEM Nature Club

Moffet’s STEM Nature Club was sponsored by a grant through Stroud Water Research Center. The grant not only allowed educators from Stroud to visit; we also had lessons through Let’s Go Outdoors, Riverbend, Land Health Institute, and PA Sea Grant. The club is running again this year with the same partners! We were featured in Stroud’s Newsletter. Read more here

The StoryMap below shows some of the things our STEM Nature Club did this past school year.

Giving Tuesday 2022

This year’s Giving Tuesday was wonderful day for Moffet. All thanks to the generosity of our parents, families, and community members. Thank you all for the support! All of our Donorschoose projects were funded! If you are looking to support our students please check out some of the wishlists below or support the Principal’s fund campaign created by our Family School Association.

From April 27th through May 1st, Moffet ran a Double Good Popcorn Fundraiser Campaign! Each staff member created a pop-up store. Our friends and families bought delicious Double Good Popcorn and even gifted some to their local first responders! Together we raised $2,516.00 for the Student Activity Fund!

Moffet Elementary is a National Elementary Honor Society School!

NEHS provides a method for acknowledging student achievement and focusing on the needs of the total child. In addition, NEHS provides information and resources to enhance the culture of achievement in the whole school, not merely the culture of a select few.

As the nation’s newest student recognition program, NEHS joins the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) and National Honor Society (NHS), the nation’s two oldest and largest student recognition programs, in creating a continuum of excellence being established throughout the elementary, middle, and high school education community.

BIG NEWS!

In May 2021 the Moffet community voted on our new school colors. Moffet is now Red Gray & White!

With that we are happy to present our BRAND NEW SCHOOL LOGO!! The Moffet Hawk logo, designed by Rachel Shapiro-Designs, will represent our school and give us an eye catching new design to promote all things Moffet. Look for it on clothes, school items, posters, social media and all over our school and community. We hope you are as excited as we are with this cool new logo! More announcements will be forthcoming as we represent John Moffet Elementary with #MOFFETPRIDE
