Thanksgiving

 

Dear Falcon Families,

As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, the PTA would like to extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. This season is a wonderful reminder of the importance of community, and we are incredibly thankful for the support, dedication, and involvement of our students, parents, teachers, and staff.

Your contributions, whether through volunteering, attending events, or simply being a part of our school community, have made a significant impact. Together, we have created a nurturing and vibrant environment where our children can thrive and grow.

We wish you all a joyous and restful Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments with family and friends. Let's continue to work together to make our school the best it can be.

With heartfelt thanks,

Frost Middle School PTA

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!
