We have an update regarding our popcorn fundraiser orders. The shipment has been confirmed and is scheduled to arrive on April 29.
Once the order arrives, our staff will need time to carefully sort and organize each student’s individual order. Because of this, all popcorn orders will be available for parent/guardian pickup beginning May 4. Please note that orders will need to be signed for at the time of pickup.
We appreciate your patience and support as we prepare all orders for distribution. More details regarding pickup times and location will be shared soon.

Dear Mora Elementary Parents and Guardians,
As we move forward with our Mora Elementary popcorn fundraiser, I would like to clarify expectations regarding permission slips and apologize for any confusion.
All permission forms are due to the office by Thursday, February 26th at noon. Brochures will be distributed that afternoon, and students will have two weeks to sell.
Regardless of whether your child is:
Participating in online sales
Participating in brochure sales
Choosing not to participate
We must have a permission slip on file for every student. This ensures we can accurately account for each student and maintain complete records.
If your child is opting out of the fundraiser, please indicate this on the form. The office will document whether field trip fees have been paid.
All brochure money is due to the Mora Elementary Office by March 11th before orders can be placed. This includes any opt-out dues for students who plan on attending the field trip.
Having documentation for all students helps keep our records complete and organized.
