Good Evening, Fox Families!
I hope you had a fantastic weekend and are ready for another great week at MNES! This is Mr. Street, your proud principal, bringing you the latest updates and exciting events happening in our school community. Let’s dive in!
First, Monday, February 17th, is a regular school day!
Tuesday, February 18th, is SRO Appreciation Day! If you see Deputy Anderson, take a moment to give him a high five, a fist bump, or simply say “thank you” for all he does to keep our Foxes safe. We are so grateful for him!
Over the next few weeks, students in grades 3 through 5 will be participating in SOL Simulations. These practice assessments help guide instruction and ensure students feel prepared for the real thing later this spring.
A quick attendance reminder—did you know you can email excuses for absences? Instead of sending a paper note, simply email [email protected] It’s quick and easy!
Yearbooks for the 2024–2025 school year are now available for early purchase! Lock in the early bird price of just $20 through February 28th. Order online at www.strawbridge.net using code YB32151, or send cash/checks to the office.
Preschool applications for the 2025–2026 school year are now open! If your child will be 4 years old by September 30, 2025, we would love to welcome them to the Fox family! Please call 540-603-9290 or visit preschool.lcps.k12.va.us to get your application started!
As we continue reading The Wild Robot, think about Roz’s journey—if you were stranded in a strange place, what would you do? How would you survive? Keep those ideas in mind as we get ready for our Title I & Title III Family Movie Night!
Join us at the Goochland Drive-In on April 8th or April 9th for a special screening of The Wild Robot. This free event includes a $5 voucher for snacks at the Goochland Snack Shack! Gates open at 5:30 PM, so arrive early to grab your snacks and a great parking spot. Reserve your tickets at https://bit.ly/LCPSFamilyMovieNight.
Looking for a fun way to spend Thursday evening? Join us at 5:30 PM for Family Game Night, hosted by the PTA, followed by the PTA meeting at 6:00 PM. Play some games, connect with other families, and learn more about how the PTA supports our school. Can’t make it in person? No problem! A Zoom link is available for virtual participation.

Speaking of the PTA—thank you to everyone using the Box Tops App! Your contributions have already raised $500 toward a new shade for the playground. Keep scanning those receipts and supporting our school! Not a PTA member yet? Now’s the perfect time to join! Your membership directly impacts what we can provide for our students. PTA Sign-up
To our incredible staff—your dedication and passion inspire our students every single day. Thank you for all that you do to make MNES such a special place.
To our wonderful families—your support, kindness, and partnership make all the difference. It is an absolute honor to serve as your principal, and I’m grateful for this amazing community.
Let’s make it a fantastic week! Remember—stay kind, work hard, and keep that Fox spirit strong!
Foxes, Out!
