Best Foot Forward (BFF) Reading Program
Fostering a lifetime love of reading
Moffett's Best Foot Forward (BFF) program is a PTA-sponsored, supplemental and voluntary reading program available for students in kindergarten through 5th grade.
Students get to check out at least one new book from the BFF Library each week, which is separate and independent from the school library. After they finish reading the book, they complete an in-person interview, conducted by a BFF Volunteer.
Students receive credits for each successful interview, and they receive prizes and incentives throughout the year for reaching various milestones. Some students may even receive an “Accelerated Reader (AR) Golden Ticket” that allows them to bypass testing if they pass an AR test in class. Students who read 100 books by the close of BFF are awarded a gold medal during an assembly in June.
Volunteers Needed!
This program is staffed entirely by volunteers, and we are always in need of more! All types of volunteers are welcome—parents, grandparents, friends, community members—so long as you meet Moffett Elementary School’s volunteer requirements (outlined below).
Volunteer shifts are flexible based on your needs and typically last roughly 1-hour. While we love individuals who can commit to the same shift each week, we welcome those who can help only as their schedule allows.
To explore volunteer opportunities, please visit our SignUp via the link below to register for shifts. You may also fill out the Volunteer Inquiry Form at the bottom of this page.
