Fox Families and Community,
We have made it to May! During the next week and a half, there are still so many fun activities and learning to come. I hope you are able to participate with your child and take a moment to celebrate all of the successes your child/ children have had this year. I also want to say thank you for all of your support this year and for showering our staff for a job well done. Our teachers work hard every day and we appreciate your love and support.
We are so excited that on Monday, May 20th we will be celebrating our K-5 students with a treat from Kona Ice. We will also have all K-5 students go "book shopping". This year we had two incredible book fairs and we were able to purchase two books for every child for summer reading. Our goal is for all of our students to continue to read and grow over the summer. Please see the reading information at the end of this email for ideas on how to use the books at home this summer.
We do hope you have an amazing summer and we will see you all in August!
Best,
Ashley Gray and Melissa Smith
