Prospective students have two more terrific opportunities to see what being a Foxcroft girl means on either Monday, December 8 or Friday, January 23 -- when the School's two remaining Admission Festivals take place.

Adults and children of all ages are invited to join Foxcroft School students in celebrating the holidays Sunday, Dec. 7, with a spectacular Christmas Pageant, followed by a visit from Santa Claus, on the Middleburg, Va., campus of the girls boarding and day school.

The pageant, which begins at 2:00pm in the Engelhard Activities Building, is a. tradition that was started by Charlotte Haxall Noland, the founder of Foxcroft, shortly after the School opened in 1914. Each December, Foxcroft’s new students and Chorale present the nativity story as a gift to the community. Miss Charlotte’s script includes several characters you won’t find in the Bible and provides a musical and visual treat -- complete with live donkeys, bunnies and doves. Foxcroft music teacher Karin Thorndike directs the performance, assisted by Fine Arts Department Chair Robyn Yovanovich and other faculty members.
