Moore students will be heading back to school soon. But on Monday, it was all about the teachers as they begin the new school year.

Teachers and staff held a Pep Rally of sorts at Westmoore High School before the start of class on Friday.

Afterwards, every single teacher was treated to donated school supplies for their classrooms.

"It's amazing. I just couldn't imagine this much help and support from the community and communities around us. It's amazing," Moore Teacher Jennifer Baxter said.

The two elementary schools destroyed May 20, Briarwood and Plaza Towers, will be hold classes location at two new locations.

Donations around the country, including everything from backpacks to erase boards have been delivered to the two school sites.

Classes begin on Friday.
