🌊 Be the Ripple. Create the Wave. 🌊

This year at Frontier, we’re focusing on how even the smallest actions can create a BIG impact!

Our principal, Mrs. Dunlop, has been visiting classrooms to read with our students and talk about what it means to “Be the Ripple, Create the Wave.” Just like one small ripple can spread across the water, one act of kindness, one good choice, one helping hand, or one moment of perseverance can spread throughout our school and beyond.

Our students have been thinking about the ripples they can create—through kindness, learning, friendship, leadership, and making positive choices. When all of those little ripples come together, they can create quite a wave! 🌊

We can’t wait to see the positive impact our Falcons make this year. 🦅

Be the Ripple. Create the Wave. 🌊💙💛

Last Thursday, we wrapped up another unforgettable year at Frontier with the perfect kickoff to summer! ☀️🎉

Our last day of school was packed with fun from start to finish — an amazing talent show full of brave performers and cheering fans, lunch on the field with our Frontier families, and a last-day celebration filled with games, laughter, sunshine, and summer vibes! 🕶️🌈🍉

It was the perfect way to celebrate all of the hard work, growth, friendships, and memories made this year. Thank you to our students, staff, and families for making Frontier such a special place to learn and grow.

Now it’s officially time for summer, Falcons! ☀️

This morning we celebrated our amazing 5th graders as they begin their final days of elementary school. 🎓💙

It’s hard to believe these students are getting ready to leave Frontier and head off to middle school next year. We’re so proud of the growth they’ve made, the memories they’ve created, and the leaders they’ve become.

Middle school is lucky to be getting this group. Once a Falcon, always a Falcon!

Today, the halls of Frontier were filled with some very familiar faces! 💙🎓 Frontier’s graduating Class of 2025 came back one last time to walk the halls where it all began.

After high fives, hugs, and plenty of memories, the staff challenged the grads to one final game of Tug-of-War — a last day of school tradition that just felt right to bring back today! 💪😄

Back in 5th grade, the staff came out on top in Tug-of-War… and today’s rematch ended the same way! 😉

We are so proud of the amazing young adults they’ve become and can’t wait to see all the incredible things their futures hold. Once a Falcon, always a Falcon! ❤️
