Interested in Learning More about Japanese Immersion?

Do you have a Kindergartener or Rising Kindergartener and want to learn about the possibilities at Fox Mill Elementary school? We have an amazing immersion program in Japanese! The kids learn math and science from a Japanese teacher half of the day, and then learn English and social studies in their English class the other half of the day.

If you would like to get our newsletters from the Japanese culture committee, please email jccfoxmill@aol.com. It’s a great way to meet other parents and do some Japanese culture activities for the entire school.

Please pass this along to anyone that might be interested. Thank you!

Welcome to Mrs Adams' Little Library!

Welcome to Mrs Adams' Little Library!

When one of our wonderful teachers retired at the end of last year our FMES community wanted to find a way to honor her many years at Fox Mill. So with donated supplies, time and MANY books they created a little library in her honor. The Little Library is even registered and has an official little library number that can be mapped. The "inaugural" set of books are mostly age appropriate to 4th and 5th graders.

Please visit soon!
