Matsuri 2026 is almost here!

Dear Fox Mill Families,

Matsuri 2026 is almost here!
Date: Friday, May 1st
Time: 6:00 – 8:30 PM

Thank you to everyone who has already signed up to volunteer! We are closely monitoring the volunteer slots and may make adjustments as needed to ensure Matsuri runs smoothly while welcoming as many of our students as possible.

Important Info
Wristbands: $10 per person (ages 2+)

New this year: All adults need a wristband, but volunteering adults attend for free!

This is not a drop-off event – parents/guardians need to stay with their children.

For current Fox Mill ES student families only. We are trying to welcome as many FMES students as possible.

Please read carefully – all wristband purchases must be made by the deadlines.
