What does your family enjoy doing together?

In honor of National Family Week coming up we want to see what your family likes to do together. We would like to get as many Fox Hollow family photos as possible to display around the school. Either find or take a picture of your family doing what they love and then send it to Nicole Allgrunn at nallgrunn@hotmail.com. We will be printing these pictures up, so please make sure that there are no copyrights on them. Thank you for your help!

Legos Needed

Fox Hollow is in need of any extra legos that you have lying around the house. These will be used for a fun new incentive program at the school. They are also looking for someone who is talented in designing things out of legos. If you or someone you know has this talent, please contact Breanne Stump at Fox Hollow. If you would like to donate legos, please deliver them to the office. Thank you!

Thank You!

A huge thank you to all of you who attended our Uplift Utah Program. I hope that each of you enjoyed watching your kids as much as we did. They did a FANTASTIC job! It was a total payoff for us last night!

This week is Red Ribbon Week at Fox Hollow. We have been focusing on the importance of staying away from drugs and alcohol. Our children are facing a lot of challenges these days. It is our job as parents to talk to them and know what is going on in their lives. They look up to us as parents, and we need to be there for them! They are being taught at school, but they also need that reinforcement at home. I know that the students at Fox Hollow have great parents by the turn out that we had at the program last night! Thank you again for all of your support!

Uplift Utah Families

Please join us Thursday evening for Fox Hollows Uplift Utah Program. This program was put out by Mrs. Herbert, Utah's first lady. This program is designed to help you, as parents, realize how important your role is in your child's life as well as the challenges that your children are facing each day. Your children have been working on songs that they will perform on Thursday night. Each grade will perform 1 song with short video clips in between. The program should be no more then 1 hour. Please set this night aside and join us!

All students will need to be at the school at 6:15. All students will meet in their collaboration areas and we will keep them until the performance is over. We would encourage the students to wear their spirit wear or school colors.

Reflections

Diversity Means....

PTA's annual Reflections contest is now underway. Your child should have received information about it at school. All entries need to be submitted by November 4th. Entry forms can be downloaded at utahpta.org or you can pick them up in the office. This is a great opportunity for students to express themselves in all forms of art. If you have further questions please leave a comment and we will get back to you.

Fundraiser ~ Last Day

Tomorrow is the last day to turn your orders in for the Entertainment Book Fundraiser. I hope that everyone has had success and that you were able to sell your books! Please make sure that you send your money with your child tomorrow. If you need additional books, we will send them home with your child. If you chose not to participate or were unable to sell your books, please send them back with your student tomorrow as well. It is very important that we get those books back! We will need every last book to fill the orders that we have coming in. Thank you so much for your participation in our Fundraiser! We will keep you updated on our success!

Protect your head- Wear a helmet!

Why should I wear a helmet?

• About 800 bicyclists die in the US every year.
• Children ages 5-14 are 5 times more likely to be injured in a bicycle related crash than older riders.
• About 540,000 bicyclists visit emergency rooms with injuries every year. Of these, about 67,000 have heard injuries.
• 1 in 8 of the cyclists with reported injuries has a brain injury.
• Two thirds of the deaths here are from traumatic brain injury.
• Up to 88% of cyclist's brain injuries can be prevented by wearing a bicycle helmet.

When purchasing a helmet for bicycling or rollerblading, look for the ASTM, SNELL or CPSC stickers inside. These helmets have been tested for safety.

Safety Tips

1. Protect your head- Wear a helmet.
2. See and be seen- wear proper clothes and be cautious when riding at night.
