Good Evening, Fox Families!
This is your proud principal, Mr. Street, and I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend. I have to tell you, there is a lot to smile about after another great week at Moss-Nuckols.
First, thank you to everyone who came out for our Math and Literacy Night. It was so special seeing so many of our Foxes learning, exploring, and having fun with their families. There is just something that warms my heart about seeing our parents and students together, enjoying learning. It says so much about how much our families believe in education, believe in their children, and believe in what we are doing here at MNES. Thank you for being part of it.
And thank you to everyone who visited our Book Fair. As a principal, one of my favorite things is seeing a Fox with their nose in a good book. There is nothing better than watching that love of reading grow.
This week, we are also very excited to welcome Maple from Bella's Buddies to the Fox Family. I know our students are going to be excited to meet Maple, and I can't wait to see the smiles that come with that.
Thursday, October 1st, is Kindness Day and the beginning of our Kindness Month. Be on the lookout for some really exciting things happening throughout the month as we celebrate what it means to be kind and make a difference for others.
Friday is Custodian Appreciation Day, and we are so incredibly lucky to have such an amazing custodial team taking care of our school and our Foxes every single day. Please take a moment to tell them thank you or write them a little note. I know it will mean a lot.
Friday is also Military Appreciation Night and Music Night at the high school football game at The Jungle. We would love to see our Fox Family there cheering on our Lions and supporting our chorus students as they sing the National Anthem.
We are also making one final push for our Den Fun Run. We are less than $500 away from our $8,000 goal! What an incredible job our community has done. If you have a pledge or donation, now is the perfect time to help us cross that finish line.
And don't forget our shoe drive this Saturday, October 3rd, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. You can simply swing through MNES and drop off your gently used shoes. It's easy, and every pair helps support our students and staff.
We also have just a few days left in our PTA membership contest. The grade level with the most memberships by October 1st will earn a DJ recess! Membership is only $5, and you can sign up right here: PTA Membership Sign-Up
And don't forget about downloading our Box Tops app!
And Fox Families, I also want to remind you that our MNES Spirit Store only has FIVE DAYS left! If you've been thinking about getting a Fox shirt, sweatshirt, or something else to show your MNES pride, be sure to take a look before the store closes. There are some really great items available, and I know our Foxes love showing their school spirit! You can check it out right here: MNES School Store
Before I let you go, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for trusting me, believing in me, and allowing me to serve your children and this incredible community. I never take that trust for granted, and I am truly grateful every single day that I get to be your principal.
And I have to finish by bragging on our teachers and staff. They are the people who make the magic happen every day. I see the extra time, the planning, the patience, the creativity, and most importantly, the genuine love they have for our students. We are incredibly lucky to have the people we have here at Moss-Nuckols. They are truly special, and I am so proud and honored to serve alongside the greatest teachers and staff on the planet.
Let's have another great week, Fox Families. Let's continue to be kind, work hard, and lead the way.
Have a wonderful evening, and as always...
Foxes Out!
