Leah Moser is the epitome of selflessness. She simply sees a void and fills it. She regularly asks what is needed in the classroom and happily provides it. Leah’s contributions and support to Hiawatha are great! One of her early acts of service was heading up the distribution of t-shirts for our annual fundraiser, the Cougar Challenge. She made sure every child received a free t-shirt that fit them. She has also served on our building’s Tier 1 committee for the last two years as a parent representative. She provides valuable insight on how to support and recognize positive student behavior. As such, she has found volunteers to pop popcorn weekly as one of Tier 1 incentives. Leah takes care of HyVee receipts, organizes the Kona Ice celebration, copies and distributes flyers for all of the school fundraisers and organizes conference meals for teachers. During the most recent holiday celebration, Leah took time off to come in and help run a station during the party for which she bought all the supplies and made the activity. When the PTO presidency became vacant mid-year, Leah was the logical choice to fill that role. Though Leah works full time, she finds the time to do the behind-the-scenes work that makes Hiawatha great! Hiawatha is so lucky to have her!
