The Moore Love committees at Moore, Westmoore, and Southmoore high schools are leading the charge again this year and will work with their respective feeder junior high and elementary schools to collaborate on events and fundraising. As you know and may be dealing with also, there are many economic, health, and social challenges this year. Therefore, we believed it was best to limit our recipients to only two important organizations so we can help them as best as possible. After interviews, consideration, and discussions - students and leadership selected our 2020-2021 Moore Love Recipients: The Regional Food Bank, Backpack for Kids program and Moore Firefighters Santa Express! BIG thanks to the student leadership from OU Dance Marathon (formerly Soonerthon) for their mentorship this year with our high school students. They will assist with event planning and fundraisers.
