Moore Holds Family Night at Barnes and Noble John W. Moore held its annual Barnes and Noble Book Fair on December 5, 2019. The event allowed families and staff to come to the store to purchase books and have food and drinks in the Barnes and Noble cafe to benefit teachers’ classroom libraries. The highlights of the evening were the special performances that showcased the great talents of Moore students. The evening started with a grand performance of select players in the Moore band conducted by Mr. Steve Rummage, Moore’s band director. The students showed their talents in a series of songs that encompassed the skills they learned during band class. The sounds of these students’ exceptional talents resonated throughout the store to provide a great festive atmosphere. Moore’s Pep Squad under the leadership of Mrs. Hendricks, Mrs. Ellerbe, Ms. Fanning, and Ms. Adams sparked enthusiasm for the evening with their cheer routines. The dance steps of the girls adorned in holiday styles and Moore’s Lion Mascot enlivened all with their precision moves. The group added a great joyous flair to the book fair as they do with many Moore events. A select group of Moore’s fine chorus members, led by Mrs. Kirven showcased their exceptional talents as they sang holiday songs gleaned from the past to the present which put a sparkle in everyone’s eyes as they listened to the harmony of the beautiful voices. Songs included “A Bit of Holiday Cheer” and “That’s Christmas to Me.” Science Projects were viewed in digital displays during the evening to provide an exhibit of work completed by Moore’s 5th students. Students collaboration and hard work to complete the displays were recognized and available for proud parents to view. Last but not least, Moore’s Top Ten Readers for December 2019 were recognized. Our top readers were recognized and given a Top Ten Reader award created by Mrs. McCumber with Moore’s 3D printer. These readers prove to be great role models for other students with their outstanding reading accomplishments. The evening was a showcase of talents while stories were read by a teacher, projects displayed, and a time for parents to shop guided by teachers’ wishlists. Moore wants all students to love to read. Mrs. Schweitz greatly supports literacy at Moore and encourages reading with her favorite quote, “The MORE that you READ, the more things you will KNOW, The MORE that you LEARN, the more places you’ll GO.” (Dr. Suess) Moore appreciates all the parents who attended and great staff of teachers who work together to make the evening a success and promote reading achievement!
