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.

RAFT--Reading Aloud Family Time

Mid-Continent Public Library's RAFT program is a way for your family to enjoy the winter months together.  Family reading time is a great way for families to share beloved chapter books and work together to earn a prize.
Participating families who read two chapter books aloud will receive a free hardback copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a certificate, and will be entered into a drawing for the DVD copy of Tim Burton's film adaptation, featuring Johnny Depp.
RAFT runs from January 3rd to March 3rd.  Reading logs are available at all MCPL branches beginning in January.
