Hello Fronteras Families!
What a fabulous week at Fronteras! Thank you so much to ALL of our 360 All Stars volunteer chaperones! The time you gave means the world to us! Thank you for your support and enthusiasm! It was a super successful field trip because of you!
Thank you to Mr. Rogness, Miss Shawn, Sra. Taner, and Mrs. Miles for helping set out all of the Believe Kids frozen food boxes! Mrs. Adams and I appreciated the help even more, as it was freezing cold on Wednesday! A special Thank You to Mrs. Adams for organizing this amazing fundraiser again! We were able to purchase our portable stage with the proceeds earned! Woo Hoo!
Speaking of the portable stage - Our Christmas concert is Thursday, December 15th from 5:15-7:00pm in our school gym. Sr. Rodgers asks that all performers try to wear traditional Christmas colors (red, green, blue, silver, etc.), but as always, if those colors are not part of your child’s closet, please dress them in something nice. We’re looking forward to the concert being in our own gym. We will be asking for your reviews afterward to determine if our gym is sufficient for future concerts.
Have a wonderful weekend! Think Snow!
Most Sincerely,
Mrs. Hutchins

APC Board News
This month, the APC Board was proud to support the Spanish Heritage Celebration. Thank you to all the staff and parents who worked so hard on making this event a success. Thank you to board member, Liliana Taner for the vision and persistence on this great project. This celebration was the start to what we hope will be a long standing tradition at Fronteras. Please join us for our regularly scheduled Board meeting, December 13, 6pm.
Middle School Minutes
The middle school is getting in to the holiday/winter spirit by participating in many service projects to spread joy to everyone. Recently we went to the Pioneer Home to help decorate for Christmas and soon we will be helping out the “Secret Santa Salvation Army”. Also stop by the library to get a tag off of the Christmas tree for a child so that child can get a present this year, (if you have any questions please talk to Miss Pierce). I hope the whole Fronteras School enjoys and has fun this holiday/winter season by helping others.
