Wall of Honor Nominations

Due to our proximity to Fr. Lee military base, some of our students, faculty, and staff have family members who are on active duty. If you have a family member who is on active duty, we would like to recognize and honor them with a star on the “Wall of Honor” at J.E.J. Moore Middle School.  This is an area that is set aside in the school to post the names of active duty service members.  please contact the J.E.J. Moore Middle School PTO via email at jejmoorePTO@pgs.k12.va.us, or just write the information down on a piece of paper and turn it in to the school office or your student’s homeroom teacher.  Names will be posted as they are received, and they will start going up in the late fall.
