In celebration of Moriah's 80th, we brought together all students from Years K-12, all 2-5 year old Early Learners, along with our staff and board members for one EPIC whole school photo! The sight of 2000 individuals, each doing their part to form a giant 80, is nothing short of awe-inspiring. This grand display serves as a beautiful reminder that when we come together and work towards a common goal, we can achieve something magnificent that none of us could have accomplished alone. Happy 80th, Moriah!
