Crew Interest Meeting

A crew interest meeting was held on October 30th. The interest meeting for the pilot program was well attended. The program will run though the Frost after school program and will be held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 PM from Wednesday November 6th through Thursday November 21st.

Coaches from the Woodson Rowing Team will teach the fundamentals of rowing and the benefits of being on a rowing team including camaraderie, fitness and resilience. Students will participate on ERGs (rowing machines) and may also do some running or other cardio activities outside on the track.

Join the PTA Today!

Thank you to many who joined and others who stepped up to volunteer. As we embark on another exciting school year, we invite you to make a difference for our students and teachers at Frost Middle School through Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) membership.

PTA Family Memberships are $25. Funds from PTA memberships and donations are used in support of the Frost PTA’ initiatives including our staff Grant Program. Your dollars will go directly to programs that enrich the experience of students, families, and staff here at Frost. A family membership also includes access to the Frost online student directory. Every parent/guardian who signs up for PTA membership automatically gets included in the student directory, unless you choose to opt your student out.

You can purchase your PTA membership here. Additional donations are also welcome to support the important work we do for our teachers and students!
