Days after an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that netted his school $25,000, Bruce Elementary School Principal Archie Moss Jr. said he still is “in shock about the attention….

From the same spot in his home, where he has been reading to his students every night over the computer, Moss told DeGeneres, “We know that our kids have a lot of needs, so we really pride ourselves on being a family and making sure that we provide everything for our scholars.

Moss and his faculty provide food, clothing and school supplies for the students throughout the school year.

Moss responded from a village perspective, pointing to the support of his staff, students and the community.

The next school year Moss was named principal at Bruce Elementary and he’s been the first line of leadership ever since.
