Good afternoon, Fox Mill Families
We stopped in several classrooms this week and were thrilled to hear the wonderful stories of how you and your families spent Labor Day. Even though it was a short week, we kept ourselves engaged in learning new ideas and showcasing what we know through our various classroom activities.
Here are a Few Reminders
