Good Evening, Fox Families!
This is your proud principal, Mr. Street, and just wow is all I can say about how amazing these first two weeks of school have been! I could not be more proud of our young Foxes and the way they have come into school ready to learn, grow, and show their Fox Pride.
I truly feel like the luckiest principal in the world to call Moss-Nuckols home, and I am so thankful to be part of this incredible community. Thank you for trusting us with your children and for all of the support and encouragement you continue to show our school.
I have a few things to share with you this evening, so let me jump right in.
First, please make sure all of your registration information is completely updated. Outside food is now permitted at MNES, but it must be store-bought, have the ingredients labeled, and be received at least 48 hours in advance. If your child's online registration is not complete, they will not be permitted to receive outside food or use a school device until that information is submitted. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to call our front office—we are always happy to help. Registration Info: https://sites.google.com/lcps.k12.va.us/lcps-registration?usp=sharing
Now, we are getting excited for our first Den Day of the year on Thursday, September 10th! To help us get ready, we have some Den spirit days coming up. On Thursday, September 3rd, wear black for Altruismo. Friday, September 4th, wear red for Amistad. On Tuesday, September 8th, wear green for Isibindi, and on Wednesday, September 9th, wear blue for Reveur. On Thursday, September 10th everyone will wear their own den colors. We can't wait to see our Foxes showing their Den Pride!
Also, don't forget to sign up for GrandHeroes Day on Friday, September 11th. Forms are due back to school by Friday, September 4th, so please get those turned in if you haven't already.
Our virtual learning packets for inclement weather will also be coming home this week. Please put those somewhere safe. Hopefully, we won't need them, but we'll be ready just in case!
For our PreK and Kindergarten families, over the next 90 days we will be completing screenings in areas including speech, vision, and fine and gross motor skills.
And believe it or not, we are only two weeks away from our Den Fun Run! Registration forms have gone home, and we need those returned as soon as possible so we can create your child's fundraising webpage. We are also looking for volunteers to help pass out medals after the run. You can find the sign-up here: Den Fun Run Volunteer Sign-Up: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084FAAA723A0FCC52-65134080-2026 #/
Our PTA is also hosting a shoe drive to help raise funds for MNES. If you have gently worn shoes your family no longer needs, drop them in the collection boxes at either front entrance or bring them to the Den Fun Run. Our goal is 2,500 pairs by the end of September, so we need our Fox Family to help us reach that goal! Please, no skates or rollerblades.
And don't forget to download the Box Tops app to start earning money for MNES. Every little bit helps! If you haven't joined yet, please consider becoming a PTA member here: https://sites.google.com/lcps.k12.va.us/m-nespta/home?authuser=0
And finally, if you're looking for some MNES swag, our School Store is officially open! Show off your Fox Pride and check it out here: https://bsnteamsports.com/shop/cWZMykUXQd?utm_source=chatgpt.com
Before I let you go, I just want to say thank you. The love and support this community has shown MNES means more than I can put into words.
And to our teachers and staff—I hope you know just how special you are. The dedication, patience, energy, and heart you bring to this building every single day are what make Moss-Nuckols feel like home. We are truly fortunate to have the greatest teachers and staff on the planet, and it is an absolute honor to serve alongside you. I couldn't ask for a better team to do this work with.
Let's keep this momentum going, Foxes! Let's continue to be kind, work hard, and lead the way.
Have a wonderful evening, Fox Families, and as always…
Foxes Out!
