Mustang Memo
November 10, 2026
Dear Families,
As we begin a new week at MOQ School, we pause in gratitude for the men and women who have served our country in the armed forces. Tomorrow afternoon, we will gather as a school community to honor them at our Veterans Day Assembly. A heartfelt thank you to the House of Roosevelt, Mr. Vasek and Home and School for planning this special event. Their efforts remind us of the importance of gratitude, respect, and service—values that shine brightly in our school’s mission.
Our Operation Others Food Drive is also underway. Please see the flyer below for grade-level donation assignments. There is a friendly grade-level competition for donation amounts. Thank you for supporting your children as they contribute to this meaningful tradition of service.
Our school theme this year is “Love God with all our heart, mind, body, and soul". We see this commandment come alive every day in the way our students learn, pray, and care for one another, and this week offers several beautiful opportunities to put that faith into action.
Thank you for your generous support and partnership.
God bless,
Maureen Hoy
