Good evening Fox Families! This is your proud principal, Mr. Street.
I hope everyone enjoyed our first snow of the year. There’s something special about that first snowfall—it just brings a little extra magic to the season. I hope your families had fun in it, and I’d love to hear your snow day stories or see a few pictures from your adventures. I certainly missed everyone, and I can’t wait to see our Foxes back in the building on Monday. We’ve got two more weeks until winter break, and we’re ready to make them count.
This week kicks off our benchmark testing for grades 2–5, along with our DIBELS testing schoolwide. These assessments help us see how our students are growing and guide our instructional decisions for the rest of the year. We just need our Foxes rested, on time, and ready to give their best effort. A good night’s sleep and a little encouragement from home truly goes a long way, and we appreciate your partnership.
Don’t forget—our Gingerbread Decorating Project is underway, and it’s always a favorite. We cannot wait to see those creative, colorful gingerbread designs displayed throughout the building.
A big shout-out to our amazing PTA as they get ready for the Snowball Express Holiday Shop this week! Students will shop during their library resource time. Gifts range from $0.50 to $19.50, and if you purchased an online voucher, there’s no need to print anything—they can look it up at checkout. They’re also still looking for a few more volunteers, and the signup link can be found on the pta website and Facebook page. https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/10C084FAAA723A0FCC52-59647315-2025
Our Family Engagement Committee is inviting families with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers to complete a brief survey as we explore interest in “Future Foxes”—a program designed to share tips, activities, and resources to support families before their children enter elementary school. The survey is open until December 12th, and the link is available on our website and Facebook page. https://forms.gle/GWCGzMrEtwH8rxUU6
I also want to remind everyone that next week is our LCPS Holiday Spirit Week! A flyer went home last week, and we’ll be sending home more reminders this week so your Foxes can join in the fun each day.
Before I close, I want to take a moment to celebrate our staff and our school. What makes Moss-Nuckols special isn’t just what happens in the classrooms—it’s the spirit behind it. Our teachers bring energy, creativity, and a whole lot of heart to everything they do, and together with our families, this school truly feels like one big Fox family. I’m grateful every single day to be part of it.
Thank you for your continued support, and as always, let’s make it another great week by showing kindness, working hard, and leading the way.
Foxes out!
