PTA News
Turkey Trot Tomorrow!

It's back!  Mr. Napier has mapped out an exciting route and will start things off at 8:30am with fun stretches and then the racers are off. Students, parents, relatives, and friends are all encouraged to run or walk as many laps as they feel like during this free, non-competitive event.

We are partnering up with our sister school, Johnson Elementary, to help restock their food pantry. The food pantry at Johnson directly supports their Friday Backpack program. This program sends food and snacks home over the weekend with students to ensure they are getting something to eat outside of the school setting.  

They specifically requested easy to open items or meals that require little preparation. (Ravioli, spaghetti o’s, Mac & cheese, granola bars, applesauce, raisins, cereal, anything pre-packaged) There will be boxes available at the start of the course to collect all items for Johnson. Let’s show them how amazing our Fox Families are!

PTA Volunteer of the Month

Congratulations to October's Volunteer of the Month, Celia Barrett, one of our Spirit Wear Co-Chairs. While we are extremely fortunate to have 2 amazing Spirit Wear Chairs, Celia has recently pulled double duty to complete our spirit wear orders for the fall. Thank you, Celia, for your awesome efforts and time donated to Nuckols Farm!

Fox Fund

It's still not too late to donate to the NFE PTA Fox Fund!  We've seen participation just under 50% NFE families and we'd love to get closer to 100%.  Every donation earns an NFE car magnet!

Garden Paver Deadline Extended

Leave a permanent mark on NFES! Personalized Garden Pavers are now available for purchase until November 30th. 

Each paver includes 3 lines of text so your student(s) can continue to show their Fox Pride long after they move to middle school.  Perfect for a 5th grade recognition gift or a fun way for your younger student to see their name in the garden each time they are there.  

The paver garden serves as an outdoor learning space for all grade levels and for GLAMP classes as well.  Getting in the garden is a wonderful way to learn.

Please use this form to purchase your paver TODAY.  This is the LAST opportunity to purchase and be included in the Spring 2022 installation. Don't miss out, you won't regret getting one!

Thank you!
