Happy Friday, Fox Mill Family,
We hope you had a wonderful week. Our sixth-grade talent show gets underway at 7 pm this evening. Our students got a sneak peak of some of the performances today, and we can’t wait to showcase our talent to our families. See you all in the cafeteria at 7pm tonight, for another fun filled PTA sponsored activity.
