Happy St. Patrick’s Day Fox Mill Families,
So many good things have been happening in our building. We cannot contain our excitement at the prospect of all our students and staff moving into the new section of the building very soon. Our boxes have arrived, and teachers are revved up about finally saying goodbye to our outdoor learning cottages.
On March 14, the upper grades recognized Pi Day by engaging in educational math games. We were not treated to pies, much to our dismay, but took advantage of the yummy cookies served at lunch on Tuesday.
Daiten Sensei and Otsuka Sensei’s students had the pleasure of meeting and learning from Yoshi Anpuku, puzzle master from Japan. Yoshi is a seasoned puzzle maker and president at Nikoli, a Tokyo based company founded by the Godfather of Sudoko, Maki Kaji, in 1980. Thanks to our Japanese Immersion Program teachers for arranging this visit.
On Wednesday, students came in “dressed to the nines” for picture day. Should you have any questions regarding your pictures once received, please reach out to Mrs. Sterner in the front office.
Thank you to all families who attended our Kindergarten Round Up Meeting today.
There is still time to register your kindergartener!

College Funding Coach
On March 21st @ 6.30 pm, the College Funding Coach® will present their Little-Known Secrets of Paying for College workshop.
For many families, the high cost of higher education is a daunting proposition. Parents lie awake at night trying to figure out how to afford sending their children to college and still have enough of their hard-earned money to retire one day. Some families have children attending college next year, and others have 12 years to plan, but the fears of tackling these monumental and rising costs are the same. The College Funding Coach® is here to help families figure out HOW to pay for it!
You can expect to learn the following:
- Strategies for parents who are looking to fund their student’s college education without destroying their plans and dreams for retirement
- The 13 most popular college funding financial vehicles explained and debunked
- How to implement strategies that may allow students to attend out-of-state or private colleges for a lower cost than attending an in-state public
- College funding strategies for parents with students who DO and DO NOT qualify for financial aid
- Ways to maximize and increase financial aid eligibility
- …and so much more
Register HERE to join Fox Mill Elementary School via Zoom webinar on March 21st @ 6.30 PM. This is information you can't afford to miss! Also, please take a look around our website, College Funding Coach® , for helpful resources and information.
Lost and Found
As the weather warms up, students tend to leave their jackets or light sweaters on the playground. Several of these items are now in lost and found (located at the back of the cafeteria). Please take a moment on your next visit to locate any article of clothing or water bottle your child may be missing.
A few updates
Spring Break – April 3- 7
Have a lovely weekend,
