Community Involvement

Black Fox is fortunate to have a community that is heavily involved with the school each and every day. We have several organizations that take time to focus on our students. We also have our own community outreach programs that the students can participate in during school hours.
THE COMMUNITY CARES FOR BLACK FOX

Howard and Sally Wall- Howard and Sally Wall have supported Black Fox for over 10 years and have done anything and everything to help Black Fox to be successful.











D.A.R.E.- The Murfreesboro City Police Department has a wonderful program that focuses on helping children learn how to make positive choices. They instruct grades K-6 and act as a resource to the students and the teachers.










Big Brothers, Big Sisters- Through cooperation with local high schools, the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program offers mentors for students throughout the school. The program helps the students to have a positive role model that they can look up to and count on for advice. In addition, the Big Brothers, Big Sisters have the choice of continuing their friendship/mentoring relationship through middle school and beyond.

MTSU- We are partnered with the MTSU Blue Raider Football Team. The football players come in and mentor, read, and volunteer their time with the students. They also give their time to help with different school-wide fundraiser.


BLACK FOX CARES FOR THE COMMUNITY
Coins for Cancer- The school collects money to donate to local cancer research.










Soldier Care Boxes- The students bring in items that are put into care packages and sent to soldiers overseas. They also write letters to the soldiers for a letter writing campaign.

Family Resource Center- Periodically, we collect items that are sent to the Rutherford County Family Resource Center. The collected items then go to local families to help them through difficult times.

Performances- Each year, the second grade puts together a holiday performance and travels to local nursing homes and care centers.










Recycling- Every class has a recycling center in their room designated for paper. The sixth grade students then collect the paper and put it into bins for a recycling company. We also collect aluminum cans to recycle.

Value Added Report Card

Value Added Report Card
Accountability standards for all public schools in the state, were established by the Tennessee Education Improvement Act of 1992. The purpose is to produce a report card for the public to review each year. The school must meet proficiency based on results of several subgroups. Those subgroups include race/ethnicity, students with disabilities, limited English proficient, economically disadvantaged, and the school as a whole.
