Florence Fox News

May 2023

Dear Florence Parents/Guardians:

It is hard to believe that it is May! It really seems like we just started the school year a couple of months ago. It has been a wonderful school year and we are proud of the growth that our students are showing. You should be very proud as well.

We have many fun events planned for the month of May. Please mark your calendars for the events below. We hope that you will be able to attend our fun events with your family. We have a very exciting new event this year on May 19 from 5:00- 7:00 pm- Family Fun Night. Please join us! More information to follow.

As we say farewell to our 5th graders, we want you to know that we will miss you and we will be excited to hear all about middle school. We wish you the best! Remember, "once a fox, always a fox!"

Thank you for being our partners in education!

Sincerely,

Jodie Lenser

Principal
