● The Fox Pack Swingin’ Ukes went out with a bang this school year as they performed at the Camtown Youth Festival last Saturday at 11:30am. With beautiful warm and sunny weather, around 30 members of the group entertained with their set of swing, jazz and fun novelty uke music for a crowd of pleased parents and community members. The group debuted its percussion section, playing the new instruments purchased with a generous grant by the Camas Educational Foundation. Mr. Hunley would like to thank Fox staff, parents, and the community of Camas for their continued support in this fantastic program, and wishes everyone a peaceful and relaxing summer!

● Volunteers make our school great!...Thank you to everyone who volunteered this year! We couldn't have done it without you. Your willingness to pitch in is what makes our school great
● Box Tops: The results are in for the final Box Tops competition of the school year and the winners are....Mrs. Cadonau's Kindergarten class won a private Hawaiian party with Dr. Sork and the individual prize goes to 5th grader Ethan King who won a Menchie's Gift Card! Great Job. We raised nearly $400 in just 17 days. You really rocked Box Tops this year and I thank everyone who supported this program. Please continue clipping Box Tops through the summer months. Hang an envelope on the refrigerator or cabinet as a reminder. Also, for those of you who may have a 5th grader moving on to middle school, please don't stop clipping Box Tops. Save them up and turn them into the office and keep supporting Dorothy Fox. It would truly be appreciated. Everyone have a safe & wonderful summer vacation and we will see you back next September. Thanks again.
