Book Drive for Uganda

As a part of our commitment to Rachel’s Challenge by showing kindness to others, Moseley Elementary partnered with The Kikulu Foundation of Dallas to provide books for children in Uganda. Kikulu is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to supporting education for women and children in communities affected by poverty and oppression. The Kikulu Foundation staff is traveling to Uganda in December and is taking educational resources. Their goal is to take 280 children's books and spiral notebooks. Moseley students and staff have surpassed that goal by collecting over 430 books and 60 spiral notebooks. As a part of the book drive, the upper grade students wrote persuasive essays on why you should give books to the cause and the lower grade students discussed why we should be thankful for what we have. You can learn more about the foundation by visiting their website at http://www.kikulu.org/ or watching their short video at http://vimeo.com/77660697.

Moseley Supports Special Olympics

The students raised money during May to support Special Olympics. Students who donated the first week were invited to participate in a water balloon fight. During the second week, students who donated were invited to throw a pie at one, or both, of our principals. The school raised over $2,000 for the Special Olympics. The Grand Prairie Police Department, who sponsors the fundraiser, visited Moseley on their annual torch run to show their appreciation for what the students had done.
