Dear Fox Mill Families and Friends,
What an interesting week we have had! Mother Nature sure threw us for a loop yesterday. It was exciting to get our first snow in November.
Our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon was a wonderful success. Many thanks to our first grade students for making the adorable turkey centerpieces. Our custodial staff worked double time to set up tables as well as break them down, and our parent volunteers proved to be expert party planners. Thank you Kim Neill and team for coordinating such a warm community event.
Next week is a short one and then everyone can tuck into delish food, family time, and, if brave enough, Black Friday shopping!
If you are traveling - be safe. We are so grateful to have such wonderful students and supportive families.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Mr. Moose Ms. Greene
Important dates:

A wallet was found at the Thanksgiving Luncheon. We have checked our records and do not know the name of the owner. If you, or someone you know, has misplaced their wallet, please have them call the Fox Mill office at 703.262.2700
Thank you.
