This Academic Planner not only includes the 

2019-2020 calendar and major dates, including 

events, banquets, and vacations, but you will also 

find our school’s Mission and Values, our Honor 

Code and Honor Pledge, the words to our school 

song and our school prayer, and you will be able to 

explore our monthly calendars and themes, complete 

with tips, skills, and strategies for nurturing a 

meaningful and healthy life from the “Inside Out.” 

Inside Out, our theme for 2019-20, invites us all to 

• celebrate our unique identities, experiences, and 

gifts; 

• turn our values into action; 

• think about beauty and wellness; 

• and consider how things work. 

As you learn — or refresh — all things Foxcroft, let 

this planner also be a useful tool and a guiding 

resource. As you appreciate Remy Patterson’s 

beautiful photography, reflect on the inspiring 

quotations and even scan the QR codes for more, 

also take time to use the white space in the back. 

It’s there for you to doodle, process, plan, set goals, 

reflect and dream. 

This planner is collaboratively brought to you by the 

Office of Student Life, Academic Office, Wellness, 

and Fine Arts.

You are at Foxcroft because we believe that you 

have all of the good stuff inside you. We see your 

potential and we know that you have a big heart. 

You care about living your best life, you have a 

desire to learn from others, you want lasting 

friendships, and you want to do your part to make 

the world a better place. At Foxcroft, we rally together 

behind our shared school values — respect, 

integrity, kindness, and service. Striving to be our 

best selves means just that — we are striving. We 

are not perfect. Perfection is boring. What we do, 

though, is take this time together to wonder, to 

learn, to express, to collaborate, and even to 

forgive. As you strive to turn your values into action, 

ask yourself: What do I believe? How can I learn? 

What can I try new or differently? How can I 

improve? Who can I thank? Who needs my help? 

Taking the time to know and appreciate your own 

inner goodness and then sharing it with others is 

what living “the good life” is all about.

“Outward Peace is 

useless without 

inner Peace.” 

- Mahatma Ghandi

Look Inside: Clean Hearts 

Martin Seligman, one of the co-founders of positive psychology 

developed “PERMA,” five core elements that help us flourish: 

1 Positivity and optimism - seeing the good in things, the growth 

opportunities, and the silver linings 

2 Engagement - losing track of time doing something you love 

3 Relationships - nurturing relationships with family, friends, and peers 

4 Meaning - contemplating what gives your life meaning and purpose 

5 Accomplishment - set goals, pursue them, and celebrate your 

achievements

Did you know that curiosity is good for you? Studies 

show that being curious about our world helps us to 

survive! Curiosity makes us happier — exploring new 

things releases endorphins and dopamine. Being 

curious helps us to develop lasting relationships — 

learning about what others think and feel, how they 

live, what they believe, and what motivates them 

helps us to nurture connections and meaningful 

relationships. We become better listeners, more 

empathetic, and more open. Curiosity also cultivates 

positive collaboration and even boosts our 

academic and work performance! We want to 

explore, seek greater understanding, exchange 

ideas, and solve problems.

“When you become 

confident with your 

inner self, the outside’s 

just going to fall into 

place.” 

- Billy Blanks

Get Outside: Jump in with Both Feet! 

Did you know that all people have the same four universal 

needs? 

1 To be loved 

2 To be heard 

3 To achieve 

4 To be appreciated 

If we each have these needs, how can we help others to feel known and 

valued? How can we show care and concern? To listen? To support and 

celebrate accomplishments and our pursuits? How can we express 

gratitude to others who support us?

We are busy people and much is asked of us. In 

the busyness of life, it’s easy to become confused, 

disoriented, and to feel a bit off-kilter. Slowing 

down and unplugging -breathing- helps us to 

check in, settle down, and re-center. 

You don’t need permission to breathe and to 

process everything you have been taking in. Be 

gentle with yourself because you are busy. You are 

learning. You are striving. Being present in the 

moment helps put life - your goals, your values, your 

needs — into perspective. Take some time to hang 

out in that space between your thoughts and 

emotions. Listen to your inner voice, have 

confidence in your abilities, trust your gut. You 

have what it takes to get through life’s challenges. 

34

“Don’t let the noise of 

others’ opinions drown 

out your inner voice.” 

- Steve Jobs

Just Breathe 

How do you find breathing room? Consider: 

1 Creative outlets - playing music, drawing, painting, taking photos. 

Maybe you like to make things with your hands. 

2 Physical outlets - move your body! Go for a hike or run. Ride your bike 

or your horse. Maybe you could walk a campus dog, invite friends to 

play a sport or a game, do yoga, or climb to the top of the gazebo! 

3 Meditative outlets (journal, prayer, reading, mindfulness) - take time 

to contemplate and consider new ideas. Maybe you could write a thank 

you note to express your gratitude. Go for a quiet walk in the evening, 

maybe stargaze in Big Track. Curl up in a nook in the library to read poetry 

or get lost in a delicious novel. You could write in your journal, doodle 

on a blank piece of paper, or simply sit in Miss Charlotte’s Garden to 

observe nature at work.

December is often synonymous with busy. Family 

and community obligations and traditions, projects 

and exams, cleaning and packing, shopping and 

wrapping. Much to do and too little time in which to 

do it. The beautiful gift in this busy season though is 

knowing that reaching outside of ourselves to give 

— the random or simple acts of kindness — is the 

ultimate antidote to stress and frenzy.

“These mountains that 

you are carrying, you 

were only supposed to 

climb.” 

- Najwa Zebian

Reach Out and Give Back 

Compassion and giving to others has all kinds of benefits, fosters a 

sense of community and belonging, and releases endorphins which help 

to relieve pain and stress. 

Service can help us put life into perspective and to see and appreciate 

our own blessings, increasing our gratitude and boosting our happiness 

and well-being.

We talk a lot about finding balance — between 

home and school, between work and play, between 

time spent surrounded by concrete and time spent 

in nature. At the core of this, though, is a simple 

need to find joy in our lives. Have you ever noticed 

that friend stress can mess with your focus in class? 

Or that a rough school day can’t fully throw you 

off when you’re in a really great mood? When you 

bring positive affect — aka a good mood — to your 

work, you are more likely to solve problems well, to 

be creative and insightful, and to be less bothered 

by stumbling blocks. We challenge you this month 

to tend to yourself. Set some intentions for your 

downtime in 2020, and find some healthy joy 

outside of class. You just might discover some of 

that sought-after balance, too.

“Life is like riding a 

bicycle. To keep balance, 

you must keep moving.” 

- Albert Einstein

When you hear the word, ocean, what do you 

imagine? Warm or cool water? Huge or small waves? 

Cliffs or flat coast? Sand or rocky shores? We likely 

all see and hear different things, shaped by our own 

experiences. Having an understanding heart means 

recognizing - even celebrating - that we have these 

differences in perspective, and building empathy 

from that understanding. Your challenge this month 

is to consider the perspectives of others around you 

and to infuse your interactions with kindness and respect. 

Let your understanding heart be your guide.

“Kindness is like snow. 

It beautifies everything 

it covers.” 

- Kahlil Gibran

Playtime. We so often think of this as something 

reserved for little kids — the unstructured, joyful, silly 

time of early childhood. You know, before organized 

sports, music lessons, and that whole school thing 

took over all of our time. But playtime isn’t just for 

littles. It might look different as we age, but every 

single one of us — from newborn to centenarian — 

needs to play. So what does this play look like? It 

could be physical, like outdoor games. It could be 

mental, like trading jokes with friends. It could be 

anything, as long as it brings you joy, and has 

little to do with your work. Playtime helps us blow 

off steam, bond with others, sharpen our minds, 

and adds interest to our lives. And of course, it’s fun. 

So go ahead, get silly, get outside, and go play!

“And at the end of the 

day, your feet should be 

dirty, your hair messy 

and your eyes sparklng.” 

- Shanti

It is that time of the year when girls begin to 

consider how they want to serve their community 

— what do you have to offer? What do you want to 

contribute? What have you learned? What are your 

hopes? When you decide to run for an office or to 

apply for a leadership position, it is an opportunity 

for you to give voice to your values, to share stories 

about your experience and to plant seeds for how 

we can all engage in our community in positive and 

meaningful ways. No matter if you win the election 

or land the leadership position, you stepping up 

to share your story and your vision has the power 

to leave an indelible mark on others and influence 

what kind of people and community we can 

become.

“Raise your words, 

not your voice. It is 

rain that grows 

flowers, not thunder.” 

- Rumi

Live Out Loud: Speak Your Truth 

Questions to consider for exploring your leadership: 

1 What kind of impact do I want to make in my school community? 

2 Which activities do I most enjoy? 

3 What are my strengths? Opportunities for growth? 

4 What role suits me best? 

Do I understand the expectations of the role? 

Do I have the skills for this role? 

Does this role play to my strengths? 

Am I able to commit the time to meet expectations? 

How can I help my community and what can I learn by serving 

in this role?

Imagine a world where everything stays the same, 

day in and day out, year upon year. There is no 

change, there is no growth. Sounds pretty safe…and 

pretty boring, right? Change adds spice to life, but 

more importantly, it teaches us that we’re capable of 

adapting; of rising above our usual selves to become 

stronger people. That rising above part? That takes 

guts. It takes courage to move beyond our comfort 

zones, to become resilient rather than hide behind 

fear. When we do this, we often realize that change 

can be liberating, it often makes us grateful for what 

we have, it brings new perspectives to our awareness, 

and above all else, it makes our lives full. We 

challenge you this month — and this summer — to 

embrace the changes inevitably brought by the end 

of the school year. Be strong. Be resilient. Be gutsy!

“For whatever it’s worth, it’s 

never too late to be who you 

want to be. I hope you live 

a life you’re proud of, and 

if you find that you’re not, I 

hope you have the strength 

to start over.” 

- F. Scott Fitzgerald

“Change is not only 

inevitable, but always 

happening. When you 

truly embrace this 

concept of change 

being constant, the 

only thing left to do is 

grow, detach, venture 

inwards, touch the 

spirit and find your 

source — the one 

responsible for keeping 

you grounded through 

the ever-changing 

seasons of life.”

Inside Out 

These activities are 

here to nuture you 

from the inside out 

— how you tend 

to matters of the 

head, the hand and 

the heart; looking 

inward and stepping 

out into the 

larger world.

1 Map the Journey 

Time: 20 minutes 

Supplies: planner, calendar, 

markers/pens, large sheet of 

paper 

Sit down with your students 

and ask them to skim the 

planner, taking a look at 

themes, major events, times 

of year, etc. After they have 

looked through the book, ask 

them to work together to use 

the paper and markers to 

create a map of the year. Be 

sure to include events and how 

they feel at different times of 

the year (maybe find some 

emojis to associate with each 

major event). 

Discuss: What have they noticed 

about the big picture of 

the year? What are the exciting 

times? Overwhelming times? 

Scary times? What resources 

do they have to help them 

along the way? 

4 Anchor 


Supplies: paper, pen or pencil 

Draw an anchor in the middle 

of a blank page. 

On the top left, write down 

those things you did when you 

were little that made you feel 

most at home, most yourself. 

Take a look at your 

anchor. Know that you will 

find strength and support here. 

Feel free to share your anchors 

with your peers. 

2 Scavenger Hunt 


Supplies: phone (for photos), 

scavenger hunt list, pen/pencil 

to check things off the list. 

People and spaces have shuffled 

a bit around the summer. 

Have your group of students 

go on a scavenger hunt to 

locate key locations, resources, 

and people. They will need 

to take a group photo with 

the people or place. See how 

many photos you can collect 

with your team in the shortest 

amount of time. 

• Experiential Learning 

Center 

• Residential Life Office 

• Counselor office 

• Learning Center 

• Director of Technology 

• Director of Diversity & 

Inclusion 

• Health Center & New Nurse 

• Assistant Athletic Director 

• Library 

• Innovation Lab 

On the top right of the anchor, 

write down those activities that 

you enjoy doing today that 

make you feel most at ease 

and most like yourself. 

On the bottom left, write a list 

of those places, smells, or 

experiences in nature that 

make you feel most at home, 

most yourself. 

On the bottom right, write a list 

of people where to go to feel 

validated, inspired, and cared 

for. 

3 Hopes & Fears 


Supplies: note cards (two 

colors), pens/pencils, a “hat” 

or “box” for gathering the note 

cards 

Each year brings its own set 

of hopes, expectations, 

challenges, uncertainties, 

or worries. This group project 

helps to build trust within your 

group while creating a safe 

place for them to talk about 

their hopes and fears. 

Come to this activity with 

compassion and seriousness. 

Create a “circle of trust” with 

your group, knowing that what 

is shared will not leave your 

group. 

Take a few notecards (one 

color for writing your hopes 

and the other color for writing 

your fears). Take about five 

minutes to write down your 

hopes and fears (one per card) 

for the year. You should not put 

names on the cards. When you 

are finished, add your cards to 

the box. 

Once all of the cards are 

collected, take turns pulling 

the cards randomly out of the 

hat and reading them aloud. 

Talk through how understanding 

these hopes and 

fears helps you to support one 

another. How will you work on 

goal setting, supporting, 

encouraging, and celebrating? 

119

5 I am Poem 


Supplies: paper, pen or pencil 

Write down each of the following 

words or phrases on 

a blank page, allowing one 

phrase per line. When finished, 

take 10 minutes to fill in the 

blank. 

I am ___________ 

I wonder ________ 

I feel _________ 

I create _________ 

I am __________ 

I crave _________ 

I despise _________ 

I struggle _________ 

I am _____________ 

I worry __________ 

I love ____________ 

I hope ___________ 

Take time to share your I Am 

poems in your group and reflect 

on them together. 

120 

6 North/South Pole 


Supplies: masking tape 

Arrange your group in a line 

shoulder-to-shoulder on a log, 

low wall, or on a line of masking 

tape. Once there, 

give them the instructions 

to arrange themselves in the 

following spectrums without 

stepping (too far) off their line: 

• From oldest to youngest 

• Most thinking to most 

feeling. 

• Most outdoorsy to most 

indoorsy 

• Lover to fighter 

• Grounded to dreamer 

• From most extroverted to 

most introverted (do you 

recharge by being with 

people or by having alone 

time?) 

• From most relationship 

oriented to most task 

oriented (when you get 

to work/class, do you first 

want to check in with your 

fellows or come up with a 

to-do list?) 

9 Original Art 

Time: 15-20 minutes 

Supplies: paper and pen or 

pencil 

Each person will draw this 

shape on their page. 

7 Ephemeral Art 


Supplies: the outdoors! 

Ephemeral art is art that only 

last for a short amount of time. 

Take your group outside and 

spend five minutes collecting 

interesting natural materials. 

Come together and create a 

work of art in the grass. Leave 

it for others to enjoy until it 

blows away. 

8 Two Truths & a Lie 


Supplies: just people and good 

listening skills! 

Each person in your group will 

take turns sharing two facts 

about themselves and one lie. 

The group will listen and try to 

guess which statements are 

facts and which one is the lie. 

After replicating the shape, 

take about five to seven minutes 

to complete the drawing. 

Compare their drawing to 

others. Consider: what do 

their shapes have in common? 

What inspired them? What 

makes their individual drawings 

unique? What can this 

tell us about living in our 

community?

10Sit, Watch, & Write 


Supplies: paper, writing utensil 

Go outside and choose a spot 

to sit down. Look around you. 

What do you see? People? 

Colors? Animals? Write down 

what you see. 

Share what you saw with your 

group. Did you see the same 

things? Different things? 

11 Color & Chill 


Supplies: coloring books, crayons, 

colored pencils or markers 

Find a comfortable spot, listen 

to music, and sit quietly to 

color as a group or alone. 

13Roses/Thorns/Buds 


Supplies: you! 

As you reflect on the first half of 

the year, think about your roses 

(those highlights, beautiful 

moments, goals accomplished, 

etc.), thorns (disappointments, 

hurts, failures), and buds (hopes 

for the horizon, new goals or 

interests). 

Take turns in your group sharing. 

14 Human Sculpture 



In a small group (minimum of 

three people) reflect on your 

year so far. What have been 

the stand-out moments? 

Now, using just your bodies, 

create a sculpture that 

symbolizes the year so far 

for your group. At least one 

of your group members must 

be completely off the ground. 

Make sure to take a picture! 

12 Blow Off Steam 

Time: as long or short as you 

would like 


Go outside, look up at the sky, 

and on the count of three, 

scream as loudly as you can. 

Supplies: Balloons 

Blow up a balloon, do not tie it 

off and then let it go. 

Supplies: Bubbles 

Blow bubbles and try to catch 

them before they hit the floor 

Supplies: Balloons & String 

Partner up. Each person blows 

up a balloon and ties it to their 

ankle with a piece of string. Try 

to pop your partner’s balloon 

before they pop yours! 

121

15 Bridge 


Supplies: paper, colored 

pencils or crayons or markers 

The week before or after a 

break can sometimes feel a 

little bumpy or disorienting. 

With significant school activities, 

events, projects, and 

packing or unpacking, there is 

a lot to think about and much 

to do! Take a few minutes to 

reflect and think of this transition 

week as a bridge between 

Foxcroft and home (or wherever 

the break took you). 

What does your bridge look 

like (an ancient stone bridge, 

a well-worn trail, a hanging 

bridge or tight rope?) 

What are you leaving behind? 

What opportunities await you 

on the other side? 

What are the “trolls” under the 

bridge that are the obstacles 

you must negotiate for a safe 

journey? 

What are the things that will 

help you navigate this week 

successfully? 

Now, draw your bridge! Be as 

creative and imaginative as 

you would like to be. 

16 Spread Kindness 


Supplies: whatever you have! 

Work together as a group to 

find one small thing you can 

do to spread kindness in the 

community. Maybe it is a thank 

you note, compliments spread 

all over campus, helping to 

push in the chairs after lunch, 

giving shout-outs to someone 

in the community at the next 

three Morning Meetings. 

Maybe you want to volunteer 

in the community together. 

Babysit for free. Walk a campus 

dog. You decide! Just commit 

to it! 

18 Rock or Feather? 



Which are you more like? 

Take turns going around 

the room with your group 

deciding what you are more 

like. You must choose one. 

Be prepared to explain. 

17 Affirmations 


Supplies: paper, tape, and 

colored pencils, crayons, or 

water-soluble markers 

Each student will be given a 

piece of paper that will be 

taped to her back. Members 

of the group will walk around 

and write affirmations — 

compliments, gratitudes, 

words of support and 

encouragement — on each 

other’s paper. 

Enjoy the kindness you just 

spread! 

• Rock or Feather? 

• River or Lake? 

• Rock band or string quartet? 

• Drama or Comedy? 

• YouTube or Podcast? 

• Gate or Wall? 

• Lemon or Grape? 

• Marathon or Sprint?

19 FXC Fish Bowl 

Time: as long as you want 

Supplies: a bowl, small slips of 

paper 

Take two minutes and have 

each person in the group write 

down as many Foxcroft things 

as they can think of on the slips 

of paper — it could be events, 

traditions, places, people, etc. 

One thing per slip! Fold up all 

the slips and throw them in the 

bowl. 

Divide your group into even 

teams (preferably more than 

two people per team). You will 

play three rounds, and each 

team will have one minute per 

round. 

When it is your team’s turn, 

one member from your team 

will grab a piece of paper from 

the bowl, and that one person 

will describe what is on it to 

her teammates. They will try to 

guess. Each team should try to 

name as many Foxcroft things 

as possible within that one 

minute. Each team is permitted 

one pass per round. 

Round 1: Use as many words as 

possible to describe the person/place/thing 

on the slip of 

paper without using the word 

on the paper. 

Round 2: Use one word only 

to describe the person/place/ 

thing on the paper. 

Round 3: No words allowed. 

You may gesture or act out the 

person/place or thing. 

20Childhood Games 

Time: varies 

Supplies: your wits 

Simon Says, Redlight Greenlight, 

Hokey Pokey, Who’s Got My 

Chicken, Freeze Tag, TV Tag, 

Clapping Games? 

Talk to your group about your 

favorite games, then play! 

22 Spin a Yarn 


Supplies: paper 

Write down your three 

strongest childhood memories. 

Now, cross two off your list. 

Next, write for five minutes 

about that experience. Where 

were you, how old were you, 

what was the weather like, 

who else was with you, what 

happened, what did you see, 

hear, smell, taste? 

When five minutes is up, share 

your story. How did this experience 

shape you, teach you, 

define you? How will this 

experience guide you as you 

get older? 

23 Hands Down 


Supplies: color pencils, crayons, 

or markers and paper. 

Trace both your hands on a 

piece of paper. Inside one 

hand write and draw how you 

see yourself. In the other hand 

write and draw how you think 

others see you. 

21 Footsteps 


Supplies: paper and pen 

Trace your foot on a piece 

of paper. For the next five 

minutes, free-write inside 

your footprint. Write whatever 

comes to your mind first, telling 

the story of your footsteps — 

where are you going, who are 

you following, who is following 

you, what about it are you 

grateful for, what has it been 

through, what has it gotten 

you through, how do you know 

yourself through what your 

foot has experienced? 

Share your stories. 

24 Risk Failure 


Supplies: camera, paper, pen 

or marker 

If you could do anything knowing 

that you could not fail, what 

would you do? Maybe you 

would skydive, start your own 

company, join the Marines, 

sleep in a tree hammock. Anything 

that would make you feel 

strong, free, or successful. 

Now, take your piece of paper. 

Hold it horizontally. Write that 

one thing down in large letters 

across the center of paper. 

Have your group leader take a 

photo of you holding it in front 

of you. 

Share with your group what you 

would do and why? Consider: 

What if you never tried? What if 

you failed? Could you live with 

that?

Mission 

To help every girl explore her unique voice and to develop the 

skills, confidence, and courage to share it with the world. 

Values 

Respect 

Integrity 

Kindness 

Service 

Honor Code 

Foxcroft is a community built on trust. A Foxcroft girl is respectful of others and their property, 

dedicates herself to her academic pursuits, and models the School’s expectations both on and off 

school grounds. Every student in the Foxcroft community is expected to be honest in her academic 

work and in her interactions with members of the community. Lying, cheating, or stealing, 

including plagiarism and the use of any false identities, violates our honor code, is considered 

prohibited conduct, and will result in disciplinary action. Each year, our community members attend 

an Honor Assembly to sign the Honor Code, and actively participate in Honor Code 

discussions and activities about honor and academic integrity. 

Honor Pledge 

The Honor Pledge serves as a regular reminder to all members of the community that we have 

a shared responsibility to act with academic integrity in all of our work. Teachers will ask students 

to sign the pledge on a range of assignments, from tests and quizzes to essays and group 

projects. Expectations will be made clear to students in each faculty member’s course syllabus, 

assignment descriptions, and class announcements. 

I pledge that all work is my own, but any help I received is documented and in 

accordance with the expectations of my teacher. 

School Prayer 

Note: It is tradition at Foxcroft to say together the School prayer at events such as Convocation 

and Commencement and at Morning Meetings. At Foxcroft, we have students of many faith 

traditions and we honor and respect each girl’s beliefs. This prayer has its roots in the Christian 

faith, but today we say it as a reminder of how we want to treat one another and how we want to 

live in community together. It is a promise to one another. 

O God, grant to this School and Thy servants in it Thy holy protection for the ensuing day. Give us 

strength to resist temptations, to be honest and upright and to be faithful and loyal friends to all 

about us. Give us a cheerful spirit in our work and in our play. Grant us a clear vision and clean 

hearts and the grace to perform our daily tasks in Thy service, that we may go forth from our 

School in the light of Thy love, living always as Thy true children. Amen.

School Song: Here’s to the School 

Here’s to the School 

And the spelling book and rule 

And here’s to Miss Charlotte whom we follow; 

And here’s to their health 

And their happiness and wealth; 

And here’s to the whoop and the hallo. 

So sing girls sing 

And let every girl sing 

Who’s old enough to lead and to follow. 

For every girl that’s here 

Has a memory near and dear 

For the School and its whoop and its hallo. 

Here’s to the horse 

And the basketball, of course 

and here’s to the rally of the hunt girls; 

And here’s to being friends 

’Til life is through and ends 

And here’s to Foxcroft in the front, girls. 







Our hearts are staunch and true 

And no matter what we do 

We’ll always have a life in old Virginia; 

So pass the word along 

Come join us in our song 

And sing to Foxcroft in Virginia. 







A special thank you goes 

to Remy Patterson ‘22 

for capturing this year’s 

planner images.
