Good Evening, Fox Families!
This is your proud principal, Mr. Street, and I have to tell you, I am still smiling thinking about last Friday! What an incredible day we had at Moss-Nuckols. Having more than 800 GrandHeroes come through our doors to spend time with our Foxes was truly special. And then seeing more than 125 runners complete almost 280 miles at our Den Fun Run—wow! Our students, families, and volunteers made it such a great night.
I just want to say thank you. Thank you for showing up, supporting our students, and making MNES the kind of place where our kids feel surrounded by people who care about them. I feel incredibly fortunate to serve this community.
We have a little bit of a quieter week ahead, but there are still some exciting things happening.
This week, our 5th graders will have the opportunity to hold the flag at our home football game at The Jungle. We would love to see our Fox Family there supporting them! Fifth graders, if you haven't turned in your permission slip yet, please make sure you get that back to us.
And I want to make sure everyone has a few things on their radar for next week, because it is going to be a busy one!
The Book Fair begins Monday, September 21st, and runs all week, and Tuesday, September 22nd, is Picture Day, so start getting those smiles ready!
Then on Wednesday, September 23rd, we will have our Math and Literacy Night. More information will be coming home this week, and we are really hoping to see a full house. We have some great things planned, and we would love for our families to join us.
We are also continuing our PTA shoe drive. We've collected almost 200 pairs so far, but our goal is 2,500 by the end of September. If you have gently worn shoes your family no longer needs, you can drop them off at the collection boxes at our front entrances. Every pair gets us a little closer!
And don't forget about our Den Fun Run donations. We are already almost halfway to our $8,000 goal, so please remember to send in any pledges or donations by September 25th.
If you haven't already, consider downloading the Box Tops app and joining our PTA. Both are simple ways to support our Foxes.
And if you still need some Fox gear, there are only two weeks left to shop in our MNES School Store, so don't wait too long! You can check it out here: MNES School Store.
Before I let you go, I just want to say how proud I am of our Foxes and how thankful I am for all of you. But I also want to recognize the people I get to work alongside every single day. Our teachers and staff are truly something special. I get to see the work that happens when nobody is watching—the planning, the extra time, the conversations, the encouragement, and the care they give our students. That is what makes this school what it is.
We are incredibly fortunate to have the greatest teachers and staff on the planet, and it is an absolute honor to serve alongside them.
Thank you for another great week, Fox Families. Let's keep being kind, working hard, and leading the way.
Have a wonderful evening, and as always…
Foxes Out!
