Fox Masks and Scrunchies for Sale |
Hello! My name is Liliana McKenna, and I am a 16-year-old high school junior in Germantown. I have my own sewing business and have recently sold and donated over 800 masks in the community.
I am selling Fox-themed masks and scrunchies and will donate 20% of each purchase back to the FHES PTO.
Masks are $10, mask/scrunchie sets are $12, and scrunchies are $5. The masks are double layer cotton with elastic ear loops.
To order, send me a message on Instagram @toteally_u or send me an email at ballerina56789@gmail.com. I will respond to your message, confirm sizing and quantity, and give you a time for a Germantown porch pick up.

Action Requested: Select Learning Mode via Online Portal Oct. 26-Nov. 9 |

Feedback Needed: Digital Learning Program Analysis for All Students |
To better understand how GMSD can best serve its community, we are gathering feedback pertaining to both Virtual and Campus Foxes, their families, and staff members to better understand their perceptions of our district's current digital learning environment.
This survey will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete. The survey will close Wed., Oct. 21.
This study is for research purposes only: all information provided will be maintained on a confidential basis by Hanover Research and will only be reported to GMSD in an aggregate form, so respondents can be candid in their responses.
This survey is administered by Hanover Research and is a nationally-normed so that data can be used to help focus our professional development and virtual procedures in the second quarter.
