3 Year Old Program

By Kaylee Schier and Desmond James

As the wheels on the bus go round and round they are picking up 3 year olds this year. Big Five Community Service, which is held at Fox Public Schools, is offering a 3 year old program this year. They have seventeen kids with several on the waiting list.

Big Five decided to offer this program back in August and they believe this program will give the youngsters a "head start" on their educational path in life. There are two teachers with the Fox 3 year old program, Mrs. Jennifer Ruth and Mrs. Brianna Norrell. Both teachers are very excited about the new program.

Many parents that have sent their kids to this program have said they are very glad they sent their child because it will help them get into the educational process. The staff of the Big Five Community Service Program and parents are excited to see the success this year and hoping to continue this throughout the years to come.

New Teacher Profile - Mr. Carl Stringer

Mr. Stringer working with the band students



by Danielle Morris and Mayara Carreiro




Mr. Carl Stringer came from Velma and he's been teaching for 6 years. He has done a lot with the Fox band this year like having a band camp before school started in August, entering the band in marching parades, wearing the school marching uniforms to the football games, and doing halftime and pregame shows. The band has been working hard since Mr Stringer's arrival at Fox. Mr. Stringer said he wants to get the confidence back in the band program, get them into band competitions, and rebuild the band program. He wants to get it back the way he remembers it was in years past. "I remember what Fox was like when I was in high school and I think I can get it back like that." Welcome to Fox and keep up the good work Mr. Stringer!

With the new school year at Fox Elementary School, a new teacher has joined the army of teachers who will be doing their best to teach our little Foxes. Her name is Mrs. Carra Spigner. She is originally from Stringtown, Oklahoma, but now she is living in Tatums with her family. Mrs. Spigner is married to Coach Spigner. They have two kids that attend Fox and one on the way. She attended college at Southeastern where she received her teaching degree. She has been here teaching first grade since the Spring of last semester. Mrs. Spigner likes everything at Fox. As we saw, and as you can see in the picture, the kids love Mrs. Spigner and respect her as well (when they aren't tying her up). Her classroom is a great environment for learning and to have fun at the same time. She jokingly said if she could change something it would be to have a nap time for first graders. Mrs. Spigner is really happy with her role as first grade teacher at Fox and she says,"I love it, it's great for me to have everyone here. If I ever have to go from here, if they kick me out, they will have to do it with me crying and yelling." Welcome to Fox, Mrs. Spigner... and don't let those little Foxes "tie" you down!

GO FOXES!!!!!

Under Lock and... Combination.

By Kaylee Schier

There is a lot of twisting and shouting going on this year at Fox High School. It is not the dancing kind of twisting and shouting you are thinking about. It is the twisting of mandatory combination locks on lockers, and the shouting of students who are frustrated because of the new requirement. As with any change it takes time to adjust.

The Fox Administration along with the School Board agreed during the summer to make all students in the high school put a lock on their locker. In order to make sure each student would have a lock the school purchased enough locks for all the lockers in the high school.

The locks will provide peace of mind for students, teachers, administration, and parents. Students will be able to keep valuables locked up in their lockers without worrying that someone may take them. Thank you Fox Schools for keeping the best interest of the students first.
