Good Evening, Fox Families!
This is your proud principal, Mr. Street, and I hope you are all enjoying your weekend! I have some exciting news to share, and I have to tell you, this is a pretty special moment for our Fox Family!
Moss-Nuckols Elementary is officially DISTINGUISHED! Fox Families, we have earned the Distinguished designation, and this is the highest ranking our school has ever achieved! How exciting is that?
I am incredibly proud, but what makes this accomplishment so special is knowing how many people helped make it happen. Our students are working hard, our teachers and staff are giving their all, our families continue to support our Foxes, and our community believes in what we are doing here. This belongs to all of you! I feel so fortunate to be part of a school community that continues to grow and accomplish great things together. We are truly growing to greatness through unity, and I hope every one of our Foxes feels proud of what we have achieved!
And speaking of our Fox Family showing up, our PTA now has over 200 members! That is amazing! We also loved celebrating our students at the Perfect SOL Ceremony. Seeing our Foxes recognized for their hard work and accomplishments is always a highlight.
Now, let me share a few things coming up. Monday and Tuesday, October 12th and 13th, there will be no school. We will welcome everyone back on Wednesday, October 14th, and report cards will go home Friday, October 16th.
Next week, we will also kick off our Breast Cancer Awareness Coin Drive, running October 19th through the 23rd. We will start with PINK OUT DAY on Monday, October 19th, so wear your pink and help us support this important cause!
We are also looking forward to Books and Breakfast on October 20th and 21st! Families are invited to join us in the cafeteria from 7:30 to 8:10 in the morning for breakfast, books, and time together. Tuesday, October 20th, is for families with last names A through J, and Wednesday, October 21st, is for K through Z. Students are encouraged to wear their den colors, and please remember to return your RSVP slip by October 16th. We would love to see you there!
Looking a little further ahead, our PTA Fall Festival is Friday, October 23rd. If you would like to volunteer or host a trunk, we would love your help!

And don't forget to check out our Box Tops app for another easy way to support our school.
Finally, keep an eye out for our Spirit Week flyer for October 26th through the 30th. We have lots of Fox pride and fun coming our way!
Before I let you go, I want to share something that this Distinguished recognition really reinforces for me. A school doesn't reach this level because of one person. It takes a whole team of people who care deeply about children and show up for them day after day.
And we are blessed with a team like that. Our teachers and staff put so much thought, heart, and hard work into helping every Fox learn and grow. They celebrate the little victories, keep encouraging our students when things get tough, and find new ways to help them succeed. I get to see that commitment up close, and it makes me proud to walk into Moss-Nuckols every day. This achievement reflects the incredible work happening in our classrooms, and our staff deserves to feel so proud of what they have helped our school accomplish.
Enjoy your days off, Fox Families, and take a moment to celebrate what we have achieved together. We are DISTINGUISHED, and we are just getting started!
Let's continue to be kind, work hard, and lead the way.
Have a wonderful evening, and as always...
Foxes Out!
