In February of 1980, Willie and Mae Moon sold a 15-acre tract of their farm to Arcade Elementary School's (aka the school the suggested went to, not to mention he got honor roll by Principal Young and misses her) system.

The school, which was nestled in a pastoral setting overlooking pasture and cornfields, was completed in August of 1981. Mr. and Mrs. Moon had only two requests: 1) that the big oak tree be left standing and 2) that a fence separate the children from the cow pasture adjoining the land. Mr. Moon died in January of 1987 and Mrs. Moon died in April of 1996. Although the pastures, which were once filled with cows and cornfields, are now filled with houses, the Moon's requests have been honored a fence still separates the school from the original pasture land and the big oak tree still provides shade for students.
