Martin Luther King Day of Service
For our annual service activity, we are collecting toiletries for the Valley Youth House as well as making fleece blankets to donate. This is to support an organization that helps homeless teens. We are looking for toiletry donations as well as no-sew fleece throw kits. These are available on Amazon, in Walmart, or at Joann’s, to name a few options.
Collection boxes are in the lobby of Murray Avenue.
Students can participate in a number of ways:
1) Students and families can donate toiletry items or no sew fleece blanket kits.
2) Students can sign up to come tie blankets on Monday, January 18th from 9 to 10:30 am. Students must sign up in advance to attend. Here is the link to the form to sign up: MLK Day of Service Sign Up (Thursday, 1/14/21 is the last day to sign up)
3) Students can tie a blanket at home and drop it off at the school to donate.

Foundation for Lower Moreland Schools
Foundation Update from Sarah Brodsky:
The Student FBLA Business Associates for the Foundation for Lower Moreland Schools would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! We are sure everyone is more than happy to be leaving 2020 behind, however; let’s look at some of the positive work that FLMS has completed in 2020. We ended the year with contributions from the following corporations: Jannsen, Waste Management, UHS, and Hatboro Federal Savings. We thank our corporate donors and their impact on innovative learning in our schools.
FLMS was able to approve two grant recipients:
Congratulations to Mr. Richard Becker, High School Math Teacher, on his innovative program “Eaquatio.” The new chrome extension has been a great resource in the classroom, particularly on virtual days and when students were required to take tests on their computers. It allows for students to type up math symbols such as pi or fractions on the keyboard quickly and easily, which has saved time during class time and allowed more time for lecture and learning.
Congratulations to the Pine Road Kindergarten Team on the implementation of the “Mindfulness Matters” program. “One of the most exciting developments in education today is the growing movement to create aware, resilient, empathic students by teaching mindfulness techniques in our schools. Through Project CARES (Creating Aware Resilient Empathic Students) we can empower the littlest learners in Lower Moreland with the know-how to improve their cognitive outcomes, social-emotional skills, and well-being. It is our hope, that in turn, these benefits achieved through program completion may lead to long-term improvements in each student's life.”
Our Grant Cycle is as follows:
Spring Submissions - Due May 31, for implementation September -December
Fall Submissions - Due December 30, for implementation January- June
