MoCo Mogul Awards

On December 9, 2017, MoCo Life 910 will be hosting it’s first MoCo Mogul Awards!  What is a MoCo Mogul, you ask?  A MoCo Mogul is someone we deem as a VIP (Very Impactful Person) within the community.  A person who works hard and gives freely of their time and energy for the upbuild of the community.  These are our mentors, educators, pioneers, coaches, etc.  The work of these outstanding citizens has gone unnoticed for far too long.  This year, we are putting an end to that!  From here on out we will do our best to make sure our VIP’s get the recognition they deserve!

We can’t host an awards show without recognizing another VIP (Very Important Part) of our community, our youth!  They will also be recognized for their hard work in and out of the classroom and their leadership among their peers!  All of our Student Spotlight students for the year will play a very special role and receive a special presentation during this event.
