“First Day Shoe Fund provides new athletic shoes to students at Kalamazoo County Public elementary schools at no cost. In Spring 2025, they will be piloting their third Spring distribution and will be fitting shoes at our school!
Any caregiver who needs shoes for their elementary-aged student can order online at www.firstdayshoefund.org/order or by scanning the QR code on the poster. Online ordering opens on January 30th and will close at 6pm February 18th.
If you order online, you will get an email confirmation; please keep this email as it acts as a receipt for your order. Students will also receive a paper order form from school and caregivers can order by returning this to their school if ordering online isn’t possible by February 14th. Online orders are preferred, if possible, as it makes it quicker for everyone! Shoes will be fitted at school on March 7th.

Moorsbridge was lucky to have Dr. Jumane in the building to present to the 4th and 5th-grade students yesterday to share the history and practices of Kwanzaa. We even had help from a few student volunteers!
Thank you for bringing the energy and knowledge to our students Dr. J.
We LOVE Moorsbridge Spirit Week!
Happy Hat Day!
Mrs. Schook, visited a few classes this morning and told our students all about the holiday that they celebrate this time of year. We had a wonderful time learning all about Hanukkah!
Thank you Mrs. Schook for sharing!!!

Did you know every classroom has a daily Morning Meeting?
This is a dedicated time at the start of the day where the whole class gathers together to greet each other, share personal updates, participate in a group activity, and sometimes review a "morning message" from the teacher. This daily practice creates a sense of community and sets the tone for the day by practicing social and emotional skills through conversation and interaction.
