Fox and Bear Community

We were thrilled to welcome our students back at school today! We hope this update finds you and families safe and well. We will spend this week getting back into our routines, lessons, and workplans. As a reminder, this week and next week are 4-day weeks for students. We look forward to getting as much work done as possible. 

Gardening Update for 2nd Graders:

Our second-year gardeners will be relieved to know that their potatoes not only survived the storm, but many thrived. Gardening students will likely get very dirty this Thursday, 10/10. Students will be hilling up their potato sprouts with soil - a totally hands on experience. The dark soil will likely make its way into sleeves, socks, shoes, etc. Please send children to school outfitted with gardening day in mind. 

Field Trips:

Permission forms for several field trips ahead will be coming home this week. Please sign and return as quickly as possible. Our first field trip is Friday, 10/18 at the Savannah Children's Theater.
