We’re excited to announce our Booster Club has created a new online spirit wear store just in time for the holidays!

The spirit wear website will be closing on December 9th to ensure that all orders are completed before the holiday break. On the website, there is an option to ship your items directly to you or have them sent to Fox Hill. Orders not shipped directly to you will be sent home with your child prior to the holiday break.

Our Annual Fox Hill Turkey Trot has been rescheduled for Wednesday, December 4th at 2:30PM. Parents of runners are welcome to come outside and watch the run. You do not need to check in to the office to come and watch the race outside. Please park and head towards the back of the school. Students will be spread out around the race route. The Turkey Trot will start and end on the blacktop. All 3-5th grade runners that signed up will run 2 laps, 1.3 miles. Certificates and turkeys are awarded to the top three girls and top three boy runners! 4th-6th place winners will be rewarded with Ribbons. This is meant to be fun and promote wellness.

CHANGE: Rather than do a quick all school assembly to announce the winners, we have decided to announce them live on our Fox Hill You Tube Channel. This will air on Facebook, just like our announcements do every morning. This will allow all families to follow along with the awards. We will likely begin this around 3:45 following the Turkey Trot. All parents are welcome to watch the winners announced by following our You Tube Channel or going to our FH Facebook Page.

Because of the Turkey Trot, we will have a different lunch, encore and recess schedule for the day. We are asking parents not to come up and eat with their child on days that follow this different schedule. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

We are also asking for parent volunteers to help supervise along the course. If interested, please sign-up below.

Adults MUST stay with their child at the dance. This is NOT a drop off event!!

Meal Tickets: $5 per meal/per person

(includes Costco size Pizza slice, drink, and cookies)

Glow Items/candy sold separately: $1 each, CASH ONLY

PLEASE RSVP - Link below:

This event is hosted by our Booster Club, is FREE for all, and does not require a "ticket" admission. Pizza, candy, water and glow items will be available for purchase by cash only. In order for us to ensure we have enough for all, we are asking all families to RSVP to our Winter Wonderland Dance.

In order to make our Winter Wonderland a success, we need a few volunteers to help it run smoothly. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Our Booster Club would like to thank all of our staff for their hard work and dedication to all 620 students at Fox Hill. One way to show appreciation to our staff for all their hard work is to gift each staff member with a $10 gift card. They are asking for donations to help purchase these gift cards for staff members, making it a collective effort. If you would like to donate a $10 gift card or two, please sign up below and send the gift card to our FH front office. Our Booster Club will then distribute them to every staff member before the holiday break as a 'thank you for all you do!'

If you or your family need resources (food, clothing, shelter, school supplies, therapy/counseling, vision/dental, or others), please contact our social worker, Meghan Shipley.
