ABOUT US

MISSION

The mission of the Moore Public Schools Foundation for Academic Excellence is to enhance, expand, and enrich students’ educational experiences through private donations and gifts.

OUR HISTORY

Academic excellence has always been the focus of the Moore Public Schools. In 1995, a group of thirty community leaders comprising a cross section of the community, established the Moore Public Schools Foundation for Academic Excellence. The foundation is a non profit, tax exempt organization. The Foundation members are dedicated to the belief that public education can be endowed in the same spirit as higher education, expressed through broad based local community support.

OUR SUPPORT

SUPPORT OF THE SCHOOL SYSTEM

The Foundation’s support for the school system comes predominantly in the form of grants awarded to innovative teachers. Every teacher in the Moore system is eligible to submit grant proposals. Such proposals are reviewed for their proposed curriculum enriching properties, and as many as funds allow are selected to receive stipends. Awarded grant funds may be used for:

MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
SPECIALIZED NON-FUNDED EQUIPMENT
VISITING INSTRUCTORS OR SPEAKERS
FIELD TRIPS
ACADEMIC FAIRS
SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS
OTHER EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES

Foundation members believe that teacher grants help turn good ideas into better educational opportunities for our children.

GOALS

ENHANCE ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

We strive to assist in ways that help enhance academic excellence in the Moore schools by providing funding not available through public sources.

SUPPORT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

We work to better inform the community about strengths and innovative programs of public schools while helping build public confidence in the schools system.

BRING THE COMMUNITY TO THE DISTRICT

We focus on encouraging community and business involvement in the public schools in a positive and supportive manner to include financial support.

As a Moore Public Schools Alumni, Clayton Ramick was excited to return to his hometown and be a part of something big. Clayton graduated from Southmoore High School in 2010 and went on to further his education, obtaining a Bachelor’s degree from Oklahoma Christian University in 2014.

Jenna Isaacs-Seeley

Resources Development Coordinator

Jenna has an associates degree in Early Childhood Education and a Bachelor’s degree in Child Psychology and Interdisciplinary Studies and has recently begun her Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership. Having worked in the preschool and kindergarten classroom for many years, Jenna brings more than just teaching experience to the Foundation as her professional talents include marketing, advertising, and extensive community based non profit work. Her passion is to serve others-especially those who often go unnoticed.

Married to a Moore Public School teacher, Jenna has enjoyed embracing the vast Moore school district and community. She knows first hand the impact a teacher can have on a child’s heart and mind. Jenna is thrilled to be a part of supporting and empowering local teachers and students.

A special needs parent advocate and devoted mother of three children, Jenna mostly does laundry in her spare time but dreams of someday having time to travel, learn to quilt and read. She loves to be home with her family and two pug dogs
