FVE NEWS
September 2022
Dear Frontier Valley Families,
We want to thank all of you for attending our recent “Back to School Night”! It is great to see your support and see our students’ showcasing what they have learned and experienced at FVE over the first few weeks of school.
Our school theme this year is roaming with pride, and we have so many things that we are proud of at Frontier Valley. One of our points of pride is Mr. Maurice’s student safety patrol. Maurice has his student safety team set for this year, and you might notice some of these students wearing bright yellow vests in the morning during arrival. The main goal for our student safety patrol is for them to be a positive ambassador for our school. We are excited that our students want to help with creating a positive and safe environment at Frontier Valley. If you see one of our safety greeters in the morning, please give them a big thank you for their service!
Our school has been invited to participate in the Legend High School Homecoming parade! The parade will take place on Wednesday, September 21st starting at 5:00pm. The route starts in the lower student parking lot at Legend High School and ends in the parking lot at Cimarron Middle School. We are excited to participate this year, and will be inviting all of our 5th grade students that would like to walk with Blaze the Buffalo in the parade to represent our wonderful school. More information and details for our 5th grade parade participants will come through classroom news. All students in grades kindergarten through 4th are invited to line the parade route to cheer the parade participants on! This is a wonderful community event for our entire feeder. We hope to see you there!
Your proud principal,
Kiersten
