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 email the BFF Committee at bff@moffettpta.org.
We gratefully accept donations of gently used books all year.
Moffett Elementary School Volunteer Requirements
We truly value our parent volunteers and the time you give to support our classrooms and students. To ensure the safety of our campus, all volunteers will need to meet the following requirements:
Present a valid ID to sign in at the office through the Raptor System
Have a current TB test on file in our health office
If you have any questions about these requirements, please contact the Moffett Office—we’ll be happy to help. All visitors and volunteers are also required to wear a visitor badge while on campus. Thank you for helping us keep Moffett a safe and welcoming place for all students.
