Good evening Fox families,
This is your proud principal, Mr. Street.
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying a wonderful Sunday evening. As we head into our final week of the first semester, I just want to say how proud I am of our students and how grateful I am for the incredible partnership we share with our families.
I want to start by celebrating some amazing news— we have 14 MNES students whose artwork is currently on display at the Louisa Arts Center! This is such an exciting honor, and we are so proud of each of these students for sharing their creativity with our community. A special thank you to Ms. Ward for her hard work and dedication in making this opportunity possible for our students.
I also want to remind everyone about our division-wide Holiday Spirit Week coming up this week:
- Monday: Wear your favorite holiday shirt
- Tuesday: Wear your favorite holiday accessories
- Wednesday: Favorite holiday sweater
- Friday: Fun and festive holiday wear. We can’t wait to see our Foxes spreading holiday cheer!
Parents, as we look ahead to next semester, I want to share a quick reminder that on two-hour delay days, breakfast is not offered. Thank you for helping us plan ahead on those mornings.
A reminder for our 2nd and 3rd grade families—our musical performance will take place on Thursday, December 18th, beginning at 6:00 p.m. We hope to see everyone there as our students shine on stage.
The Snowball Express Holiday Shop will continue Monday through Wednesday of this week to make up for days lost due to snow. If your child has library resource one of those days, or was unable to shop earlier, they will have another opportunity this week. We are also still in need of volunteers. If you’re able to help, please check out the PTA website or Facebook page for the sign-up link. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084FAAA723A0FCC52-59647315-2025#/
I want to wish all of our families a very happy holiday season. Please remember that schools will be closed from December 22nd through January 6th for Winter Break. This first semester has been a wonderful one, and I am so thankful for your hard work, encouragement, and continued support of our young Foxes.
I would also like to end by saying how incredibly thankful I am for the amazing teachers and staff here at MNES. This school truly feels like home because of their dedication, compassion, and daily sacrifices for our students and families. I am forever grateful for each of them.
Thank you again for being such an important part of our MNES family. Enjoy your evening, enjoy the holidays, and as always—let’s make it another great week by showing kindness, working hard, and leading the way.
Foxes out!
