May is Moraine’s month to support Northville's own Civic Concern - Hunger knows no season. Please support Civic Concern by sending non-perishable food items to Moraine this May. Collection boxes are located near the front office. If every child would bring one can or box it would go a long way to support community members who are struggling. Thanks in advance for your support!

Items needed at this time include:

• Canned fruit
• Canned pasta and pasta sauce
• Canned tuna fish
• Non-sweetened cereal
• Rice, pasta & mashed potato side dishes (boxed or bagged)

It's the time of year that preparation for the next school year begins. We've created a new 5th Grade "Raft" to highlight opportunities for our future middle school students. Be sure to check it frequently for new events!

The Northville Youth Network will wrap up our Wellness Wednesday programs with “Kona & Community.” Bring a buddy and enjoy a complimentary Kona Ice on us May 29, 4:30-5:30 pm at Millennium Park. All students K-12 are welcome. We look forward to seeing you there!

Happy Spring!

Moraine has six planters in front of the school and one can be yours for the summer!

Here's how Adopt-A-Pot works:

For a donation of $15, you will be funding one of the planters AND you get to take a beautiful pot home for the summer. Your pot/s will be available for you to pick up at the last day of school for you to water and care for over the summer, returning them right before school starts so our school looks beautiful on the first day!

Pots will be assembled by Moraine students during our Spring Clean up on Saturday, April 27th.

Contact Janelle Justin at 586-489-4163 to Adopt-A-Pot!

First come first serve!
