“Thankful”Some days we forget

To look around us.Some days we can’t see

The joy that surrounds us.So caught up inside ourselvesWe take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for What we know can be.

And on this day we hope forWhat we still can’t see.

It’s up to us to be the change.And even though we all can still do more

There’s so much to be Thankful for.

Look beyond ourselvesThere’s so much sorrow.It’s way too late to say

I’ll cry tomorrow.Each of us must find our truth

It’s so long overdue.

So for tonight we pray forWhat we know can be.

And every day we hope forWhat we still can’t see.

It’s up to us to be the change.And even though we all can still do more

There’s so much to be Thankful for.

Even with our differencesThere is a place we’re all connected.

Each of us can find each other’s light.

So for tonight we pray forWhat we know can be.

And on this day we hope forWhat we still can’t see.

It’s up to us to be the change.And even though this world needs so much more

There’s so much to be Thankful for.

Hello Fronteras Families,

We are very excited about our upcoming Christmas Concert, December 9th, at Wasilla Bible Church, 1651 W. Nicola Ave., Wasilla. The church sits behind Burchell School across from Spenard Builders Supply. Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Stamoolis for helping us secure this location! Both the facility and parking lots are huge and will accommodate all guests easily!Students are asked to wear a white shirt/blouse, black pants/skirt, and black shoes. Accents of red, green, silver, and/or gold are encouraged!The students and I have talked about Music being a team sport. It takes everyone working together. As with most team sports, uniforms are important – it promotes team spirit. We have the same expectation, so please support our dress request, and have our performers in black and white!Larry Bottjen, owner of DVD Technology, will video the entire concert and have DVDs available for purchase before Christmas break. More information on pre-ordering a DVD will go home with students.

Concert Schedule:

Kindergarten & 1st Grade – 5:30pm

2nd & 3rd Grades – 6:05pm

4th – 8th Grades – 6:40pm*Please have your student(s) at Wasilla Bible Church 20 minutes before their performance. There will be signage to help you locate the line-up room.

Thank you for your support! We look forward to seeing you December 9th!

Sincerely,Ms. Easton

Emily Wheeler is a Kindergartener in Sr. Onfray and Mrs. Geffen's Classes

What an amazing turn out of food, help and great people. Thank you for being such an inspiration to our children here at Fronteras.

We are so lucky to have so many parents in our school. Our 2/3 Feast was a great joy. The students had plenty to eat, they parents

were very happy to be there giving thanks in this special day and then we had a great afternoon full of great art activities. Our gingerbread strings turn out to be of mom and dad and not just children. Our thankful trees

were full of gratitude and faithfulness I read in one of them. What a great word. Thanks for all our children. Our turkeys were full of surprises, they were so happy making them. Everyone either ate theirs or took it home.

Again thanks to everyone who showed up and to those that participated in one way or another. I could not have done it without all of your support.

God bless you all on this Thanksgiving Gracias

Nerissa Torres

Our  class  decided  not  to  have  a  thanksgiving  feast  but  we  decided  to  give  out  Lme  to  our  community  helping  at  the  food  pantry,  students  helped  carrying  frozen  turkeys  and  learn  more  how  to  work  as  a  team  and  food  donaLon.

 We  are  also  making  blanket  to  donate  to  “My  House”  I  will  also  would  love  for  you  to  give  a  big  “thanks”  to  Mrs.  Brunnhoelzl  (Bailey’s  Mom)  

she  donated  53lb  of  food  and  a  turkey  to  the  food  pantry  of  Wasilla.Thank  you  and  hope  you  had  a  great  Turkey  Day…
