Thank you to all the Fox families who came out to support our Charity Basketball Game this past Friday night! We raised over $450 for St. Jude and our Fox Family Fund.

FHES Cross Country Team Qualifies for State |

During Fall Break, the FHES Cross Country teams participated in the West TN ES Regional Championship. Our girls team qualified and competed yesterday in the State Cross County meet in Knoxville, TN, and two boys also competed individually. The girls team placed 9th out of the top 25 teams in TN. Way to go Foxes! |

The Fundraising Team would like to give a huge THANK YOU to all of our Fox Families for their generous donations and incredible support during the first quarter of the school year! Every Donation Drive goal was met for a grand total of $13,656!
On Friday, Mr. Percoski, Officer Mike, and Coach Stratton raced across the lake on campus with some festive floats! This event marks our last donation drive incentive as we surpassed the $10,000 milestone. These funds help the FHES PTO to put on events like our upcoming movie night and car show. It also funds a yearly donation back to the school to help with things like the Learning Garden and picnic tables for teachers. Congrats to Officer Mike for winning the race!
Thanks to our fantastic Fox Families for your support and enthusiasm!

Music Reminders from Mr. Simons |
|
Recorders:
4th and 5th Graders will be starting recorders in Mr. Simons’ music class after Fall Break. Recorders can be purchased at the bookstore, from the office with Mrs. McClendon, or through MySchoolBucks for $8. If you get your own, make sure it is Baroque, NOT German finger position. Also, if possible, provide a baby sock and a rubber band for your student. Safety Protocols: the sock at the end of the recorder traps 99% of the air (Shelby County schools are following these same guidelines). When possible, we will play outside, in larger rooms, and if in the classroom we will play for short amounts of time. If you have any questions or concerns, please Contact Mr. Simons.
Veterans Day on November 11:
Our Veterans Day Celebration will be vehicular this year! We will host a Veterans drive-thru celebration. The line will carry through the car line with various stops along the way. Veterans can listen to the FHES Choir serenading with patriotic songs, hear cheers and Armed Forces Medley from our students, and receive a parting gift from FHES. Parents are invited to drive through as well.
