On Friday, we had the honor of celebrating an incredible group of graduating MPS seniors alongside MPS Family & Student Support . These students have overcome challenges most people never see, and we are so proud of each of them and all they’ve accomplished. Graduation is a HUGE deal, and they deserved a night that felt joyful, personal, and full of love from their community.

A massive thank you to First United Bank - Moore for hosting us and providing such a wonderful space to celebrate these students.

We’re also so grateful to:
• OKC Balloon Twisting by Matt for the incredible balloon decorations
• Graze Craze Moore for the charcuterie cups
• Domino's Pizza sure every student had their own large pizza
• Alfredo's Mexican Cafe - Moore for tacos and all the fixings
• Chick-fil-A Moore for the nugget tray and meal cards
And Eileen’s Colossal Cookies for sweet treats to top it all off

Thank you to the Moore Public Schools Foundation Board of Directors for going above and beyond to make this celebration meaningful. And thank you to every donor who adopted a senior and to incredible groups from Emmaus Baptist Church for helping create personalized gift baskets for every graduate.

This community showed up in such a beautiful way for these students, and we cannot wait to see the amazing things ahead for each of them. 🎓
