FOX HILL ELEMENTARY

Welcome back Fox Hill readers! I hope you had a great summer and read some good books while you were on vacation. We are continuing to focus on choosing great books that are "just right" for us here at Fox Hill. Libraries, including our school library, are filled with books galore to encourage reading and listening skills in even the youngest children.To make the process easier for parents, North Kansas City Schools has made its library catalog, called Destiny, available to you and your children online. Simply, look under Library Catalog down below and click. When the Destiny screen opens, click on the name of your school and begin searching.

Read For the RECORD!

Fox Hill students will be partnering with Jumpstart for "Read for the record" on October 6. 
Jumpstart is a national early education organization that helps children develop the language and literacy skills they need for school, setting them on a path to close the achievement gap before it is too late.  We will be reading the story,  Llama, llama red pajamas together over the PA system after morning announcements.

DONATE A LIBRARY BOOK TO CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY



Donate a book to help celebrate your child’s birthday!  On or near your child’s big day, send $7.00 with your child’s name and teacher’s name in an envelope to the library.  Your child will choose a new book from books that are reserved for this program.  Inside the cover, a nameplate will be placed showing that your child donated this book to the library.  A digital photo will also be taken of your child and will be displayed on the birthday book bulletin board.   It’s a great way to celebrate your child’s special day and help the library out as well.
