Good Evening Fox Family!
This is your proud principal, Mr. Street, and I am so excited as we head into Week 6 with our amazing foxes.
First, I just have to say thank you. GrandHero’s Day was such a special event—we had over 700 Grandheroes in the building, and it was an honor to host them here at MNES. And then, to wrap up the week, our Den Fun Run was a huge success with over 400 people joining us. It was incredible to see so many of our families supporting our foxes and spending time together. Thank you for making both events so meaningful.
Now, as we look ahead to this week, I have a few reminders to share. If you haven’t sent back your SchoolStore lanyards yet, please do so soon. And just a quick reminder about classroom celebrations—any food items must be store-bought with ingredient labels, dropped off at the office 48 hours in advance, and not sent on the bus. This helps us keep all of our students safe. Also, don’t forget to complete your online registration and medical consent forms, since those are required before students can have outside food.
This Wednesday, September 17th, is Constitution Day! We encourage everyone to wear their most patriotic outfit or show off those red, white, and blue colors.
Looking ahead, our Fall Book Fair will kick off the week of September 22nd through the 26th. And on Tuesday, September 23rd, we’ll host our Math and Literacy Night from 5 to 7. Families can grab a free hot dog, browse the book fair, and walk away with strategies to support reading and math at home. It’s going to be a great evening.
Two weeks from now, on Friday, September 26th, we’ll have Picture Day, so go ahead and mark those calendars. And don’t forget—the contest for this year’s elementary yearbook cover is open until September 30th. Students can submit their artwork to Mrs. Thompson, and we can’t wait to see their creativity shine.
One last reminder—please consider joining our PTA. We are pushing to top 200 members this year, and we know with our Fox Family we can make it happen.
Before I close tonight, I just want to take a moment to celebrate our staff. The way they teach, support, and love our students every single day is inspiring. We are so lucky as a community to have such hardworking educators who truly care about our kids.
Let’s keep showing our Fox Pride this week by being kind, working hard, and leading the way.
Foxes Out!
