From a napkin to a nationally recognized leadership program ... Mrs. Mooring has worked at Puyallup High School since 2003. While at a Jostens conference in 2013, she developed a seven-year plan to bring Jostens Renaissance core values to Puyallup. She wrote her plan out on a napkin which is now framed in her classroom.
