President's Message

Happy September Fox Families!


I look forward to seeing you at our back-to-school night next Thursday.  It's an important evening as you'll learn how our PTA enhances your child's elementary school journey, as well as vote on our budget.

Elsewhere the Henrico Police Department is hosting a free seminar on October 11th from 6:30 to 7:30pm.  The topic will be "Civilian Response to Active Shooter."  I personally find this topic difficult to share and do so by way of letting others know about this opportunity.  Register Here

We've been busy planning events for your fox and family this fall.  We'll be reintroducing the After School Enrichment program and we'll be bringing back the super-awesome Fall Festival.  We need volunteers to help run our programs and welcome whatever level of support you can offer.  Click My Forms on our home page to get started!


See you around the Fox Den,

Robert Coyne

Did you know.....

Any changes from your students normal transportation requires a note to come into school?  No email, no word of mouth, an old school piece of paper.  

NFE has a convenient form that you can download, print and keep on hand.  By using this form you:

(a) ensure proper communication 

(b) ease your teacher's morning 

(c) keep Ms. Peggy happily organized as she manages all these details.

Have you heard? Our beloved Fall Festival is making its comeback this year! 

We're actively looking for donations to our Silent Auction and sponsors for the event. Gift cards, product baskets, or professional services - anything is welcome. With your generosity, the funds we raise power various programs for our students and staff, plus it’s a tax write-off! Not a business owner but want your company to donate? We'd love to have them included! And happy to do the legwork to get the ball rolling. Just send a note to Barbara Bliley and Laurie Nicholson for more info! 

We're also still in need of coordinators for a few critical areas: Food Sales, Volunteers, and Games. We have info to get you started and you'll have plenty of support from the rest of the planning team! If you have a few hours to spare and want to help make this the best NFE Fall Festival ever, please reach out to Barbara Bliley

Thank you!!    (Rain Date scheduled for Sunday, October 23rd)
