EVERYBODY’S BEING OUTFOXED! Jackson (Grade 2) & Josie (Grade 1) Ambrose, Enzo Wonder (Grade 2), and the High Bidders for the 2015 Auction Gourmet BBQ (O’Claires, Hammerstad’s, Wonder’s and Carl’s) were all recently out-foxed by the clever clan from Schmitz Park. With the first day of school approaching quickly (whoot-whoot) the Fox-capade is picking up speed this week visiting a favorite Schmitz Park destination. Post your student’s guess on our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/pages/Schmitz-Park-Elementary-School!

As previously reported, the Foxes sought out a meal last Friday evening ultimately joining the Linxweiler’s and guests (aka winning bidders) at the 2015 Auction’s Mexican Feast. Members of the PTA Board met informally yesterday to try to determine if the frequency of habitations was on the decline. It was conclusive

The Schmitz Park Fox Family was spotted 3 blocks west today inhabiting Alyse & Ryan Hufford’s yard. While the Hufford’s state they saw or heard nothing (that’s why it’s called being Out Foxed), it is presumed the foxes were on the move at some point late Wednesday night when they decided to occupy Kian & Calvin’s front lawn. “I want to keep one!” Calvin Hufford, incoming Schmitz Park 2nd grader, stated upon finding the skulk

 A family of Schmitz Park Foxes ventured out of the reserve early Tuesday morning  in search of expanding their habitat. The Foxes received a tip that former PTA  President Joe Turcotte and First Lady Anita Lavine are strong advocates of the SP  PTA mission to provide little Foxes opportunities to grow, learn and thrive – thus  making their home an ideal place for an expanded den. Occupying the Turcotte-  Lavine Family yard, the foxes drew
