Looking Forward to the New Semester

By Kaylee Schier and Tyler Townsend

The new semester started January 5, 2011. As the new semester starts both principals are getting students ready to take the Oklahoma State Tests. As we interviewed Mr. Phelps he said, "we have had a good first semester of school this year we would like to continue by improving test scores and shrinking the ineligibility list."

With the new semester there has been no new changes made to the schedule or new rules made for Elementary or High School students. Mr. Phelps has recently completed a new program for 4-H which is Archery. He will be offering it through Fox 4-H Club, several are already interested. Phelps laughs as he says, "it is a life long sport."

Mr. Phelps enjoys seeing the school succeed in whatever it is from Band, Athletics, Ag, to Academics. He is looking forward to a new year next year for football and academics. Phelps proudly says, "spring opens a lot of opportunity for Foxes to be successful!"

Prom fever is heating up!

by Mariami Sumbadze and Catie Spigner


Prom is one of the biggest events of the school year. A lot of people are looking forward to setting a prom date. Breaking news from The Fox Flash!! The prom date is set and it will be on March 25th at the Duncan Golf and Country Club with the promenade starting around 5PM in the auditorium. The prom will run from 7pm to 11pm and we will have a dinner, DJ and a slide show.

Juniors have little work left to do before prom. They will be selling "Crushes" for Valentine's Day this year. So if you want to let someone know you have a "Crush" on them, find a Junior class member and they will help you out! They will start selling them very soon. As Mrs. Smart says, "The Junior class has worked really hard. Everybody participated in the fundraisers. They did a good job so we don't even have to worry about next year's Senior expenses."

Keep checking The Fox Flash for more details on the 2011 Prom, we have the exclusive on all the prom details!!!

The School Website

The official school website is an ongoing process. Mr. Shepherd says his class has been working hard on the project since the beginning of school. His class is not only making the school website, but they are also learning how to write computer programs as well. "The basic frame is done (for the website) and the class works on the details when they have time", says Mr. Shepherd. "It's awesome! We are making all kinds of programs in the class!"

When the class gets the website up and running the URL will be, http://www.foxps.k12.ok.us/.

Keep up the good work and we hope to see it up soon!
