Monday, October 3rd was the kick off for our annual fundraiser! Each student will be coming home with a fundraiser packet. It will include the following:

Catalog

Order form

Prize Flyer

And most importantly, the parent letter with the coupons.

These coupons are how students are entered into daily prize drawings, get their animals, and how we keep track of sales. Each time your student sells the number of items listed on the coupon, you fill it out and turn them in.

I come to the school daily to collect coupons and draw prizes. The kids get really excited so make sure to hand them in as you go!

Online sales count towards coupons but you DO NOT INCLUDE online orders on the paper order form.

Please do not hesitate to call or text me with any questions (Misty Adams 907-232-8319)

Payment is collected at the time of sales, checks are made payable to Fronteras.

The fundraiser ends October 14th allowing us to receive items before Christmas break!

Thank you!

To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, all 4th & 5th grade artists will be collaborating to create an alfombra de aserrin (sawdust carpet) outside on the front sidewalk.

Please join us on Wednesday, Oct 12th. We will begin working outside at 12:00PM to create the alfombra, and anticipate finishing by 2:00PM.

We have practiced layering dyed sawdust during art classes and are currently working in groups on our alfombra designs. This will be a MASSIVE project, spanning 140 feet using up to 200 lbs of sawdust!

Parent volunteers will be needed on the day of the event, Wed Oct 12th, for the following:

• Photographer for the event
• Drone photographer for event
• Helpers to mix dye into sawdust (please wear old clothes)
• Helpers to cut cardboard stencils designed by our student artists

Parent volunteers will be needed after the event, Friday Oct 14th, for the following:

• Helpers to clean up the sidewalk starting around 12:30PM.
• Please bring a broom and dustpan.

Thank you for your help and support in making this art collaboration a wild success!

Hello Fronteras Families!

Please join us for the community meeting next Wednesday evening, October 12th, at 6:00pm in the commons at Career Tech High to discuss Phase II of the Seward Meridian Parkway Road Improvement. We are hoping to gain information about a timeline, as well as identify thoughts, ideas, concerns for folks to speak about at the October 18th Borough Assembly meeting. Thank you to the families who have already reached out with letters and emails! Your voice is much appreciated!

Thank you, Mr. Prestien, for not only directing traffic, but also for making repairs in our hallway restroom! Your time and expertise is greatly appreciated!

Picture retakes are Tuesday, October 18th! Be sure to tell your student(s) if they are getting a retake, as we will not know to call them from class.

Thank you to our PE Trails Volunteers: Sr. Reed, Sra. Tallman, Sra. Belanger, Sra. Messenger, Sra. Carlyle

Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend!

Most Sincerely,

Mrs. Hutchins
