Courage & Character
Hello Fall River Fox Families,
The biggest event of the Fall River year is right around the corner. It’s our annual Fox Trot fun run. This event is a long standing tradition that has come to be regarded as a Fall River rite of passage. The Fox Trot is a community celebration and a great opportunity to emphasize courage and character with our kiddos in a fun and exciting community setting.
If you are new to our school you may not know that the Fox Trot is the foundation of what I call the “secret sauce” of Fall River. Over the years, we’ve earned the reputation of being a very high performing school. One of the biggest factors in our success is our commitment to making sure that every child can read on or above grade level by the time they reach 3rd grade. Our “secret sauce” is that we use our fundraiser to staff a team of expert reading interventionists. This team provides what we call the double dose of reading instruction for ALL students in need, Kindergarten through 2nd grade.
A high performing school means happy successful kids, a safe and prospering neighborhood, and great property values. Please consider pitching in what you can to help Fall River continue to excel. If we meet our goal, this year’s Ultimate Fox Party will be open to all students and parents. I hope that all of you are able to pitch in what you can.
