Good evening, Fox Family!
This is your proud principal, Mr. Street, and I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend. I can’t believe we are already heading into Week 4—it has been such a joy to watch our foxes settle into routines, work hard, and show kindness every single day. I am so thankful for our students, our families, and of course, our amazing teachers and staff who pour their hearts into this work. Being the principal of this school is truly an honor.
First, a reminder that there will be no school on Monday, September 1st, in observance of Labor Day. I hope you enjoy the time with your families.
This week we’ll continue practicing safety routines with a lockdown drill and a fire drill. These are only practice, but they are so important to make sure everyone knows exactly what to do to stay safe.
September 2nd outside food can be bought in. Please remember that if you wish to send in items they must be store-bought with ingredient labels. The items must be brought in 48 hours in advance of distribution. Students may not bring items on the bus, we ask that parents bring in the items and drop off at the front office for the nurse to check.
Also, don’t forget to complete your child’s online registration and medical consent form—students cannot eat outside food at school until those forms are submitted. If you have questions, you can call the nurse at 540-967-1347.
On Thursday, September 4th, we will have our kick off for our SchoolStore program to help our school raise money for our student fund. A lanyard with information explaining how the program works will be sent home with your child on Thursday, September 4th. Your children will earn a participation prize when they return the filled-out lanyard to school, and they can earn more great prizes when your family and friends help our school raise money.
Please don’t forget about Green and Gold Day on Friday, September 5th. We hope to see everyone at the Jungle for the first home football game of the season!
And looking ahead, mark your calendars for Friday, September 12th—it’s going to be a special day! That morning, we’ll celebrate Grand Hero’s Day, welcoming grandparents and other special heroes to join us at school. Then, that evening, our PTA’s 3rd Annual Den Fun Run and Cookout kicks off at 6:00. Registration forms have already gone home, so be sure to check those folders. Don’t forget to join the PTA as well—the class with the most memberships by the Fun Run will win a pizza party!
Before I close, I want to say again how proud I am of our staff. They work tirelessly to love, support, and teach our students each day, and their dedication is what makes this school such a special place. Our community is stronger because of them, and I am truly grateful.
Let’s keep showing our Fox Pride this week by being kind, working hard, and leading the way.
Foxes Out!
