]]> Impact Summary & Call to Action https://aurorafrontierpto.com/impact-summary-call-to-action/ Wed, 03 Apr 2024 17:45:14 +0000 https://aurorafrontierpto.com/?p=1628 The PTO Board has worked for the last two years to rebuild from COVID and provide as much support and community-building as possible for the Frontier Community. We’ve planned events and fundraisers, and have provided opportunities for the community to directly contribute to the fabric of Frontier.

Every year, the PTO Board must be re-elected. This provides diversity in perspectives to ensure the ongoing growth of the PTO and support of the Frontier community. Without volunteer Board members, the PTO doesn’t exist! Consider becoming a Board member to keep the work of the PTO going.

The participation of all grades and students resulted in raising $1,021.84 that will be used for supporting Teacher Appreciation efforts! Thank you so much for your generosity!

]]> Parent Learning Walks: February 15 & 22 https://aurorafrontierpto.com/parent-learning-walks-february-15-22/ Fri, 02 Feb 2024 20:53:19 +0000 https://aurorafrontierpto.com/?p=1574 Aurora Frontier will host a limited number of Parent Learning Walks in the mornings and afternoons on both February 15 and 22. Mr. Gasior decided to offer Parent Learning Walks because of community engagement and requests during PTO community meetings this school year! 
 
You’ll get the opportunity to walk the school and observe classrooms and teaching strategies in real time, and will be able to ask questions about what you are seeing. This is a great opportunity to connect with administration and learn more about how teachers do what they do so well. Sign up to attend a Parent Learning Walk here!

The biggest stated need was tissue but we also purchased pencils, markers, fidgets, dry erase markers, headphones, and disinfecting wipes!

PTO was able to purchase these supplies because of your generous participation in Falcon Family Fun Nights from August-December raising over $1,700! Thank you for helping our teachers keep their classrooms stocked for our students!
