There was something especially meaningful about this first day of school for me.

As we wrapped up the first day today, I found myself filled with gratitude. Gratitude for the opportunity to lead this incredible school and for the students, staff and families who make Frost such a special place each and every day.

In case you didn't know, this was my final first day of school as your principal, and while that brings plenty of emotions, I am choosing to focus on what matters most: the memories we will make together.

Today was filled with the smiles, excitement and energy that make the first day so special. And I am so excited for one final great year at Frost – one more year of welcoming students through our doors, celebrating their growth, cheering them on, laughing together and creating the moments that make this school so special.

Because...it's a Falcon thing. It's the spirit, pride and sense of community that make Frost what it is. And together, we SOAR – supporting one another, trying new things, celebrating successes and making memories along the way.

Thank you, Frost, for allowing me the privilege of being part of this community. I am so grateful for every moment and can't wait to see what this final year has in store for us.

One last day down. One incredible year ahead.

- Principal Joy

STORIES WE RAN OUT OF TIME TO TELL IN 2025-26: What began as a small recess activity led by a handful of fifth graders with dreams of becoming YouTubers has grown into Frost’s News Club.

Now in its fifth year, the club gives fourth- and fifth-grade students the chance to create twice-monthly video broadcasts for the Frost community. The club rotates 12-20 students through roles in front of and behind the camera. Together, they produce segments featuring school reminders, interviews, celebrations and student-created content.

Beyond announcements, the program has become a space for confidence-building, collaboration and creativity, especially for students finding their voice through public speaking and production work. Families also contribute by sharing photos and moments from home that are featured in broadcasts.

What started as a simple idea inspired by student-led videos has become a powerful platform for ownership, connection and school pride.

Today in our Class of 2026 retiree video series, we honor Debby Padzensky, social worker at Frost Elementary School, who is retiring after 22 years with District 21.

Your dedication has shaped more than classrooms; it has shaped hearts, memories, and a lasting sense of community.

Yesterday, we celebrated our incredible fifth graders as they wrapped up their elementary school journey.

Over the years, we've watched these Falcons learn, grow, lead and make our school a better place. They have left their mark on the Frost community in so many ways.

While we're sad to see them go, we're excited to watch them begin their next chapter at Holmes Middle School. Congratulations, fifth graders! Thank you for being such an important part of the Frost family.

Remember: Once a Falcon, Always a Falcon!

Our fourth and fifth graders took the stage last week for a performance that showcased both musical growth and meaningful collaboration across our building.

The concert featured a range of highlights, including several vocal solos from highly dedicated fifth-grade choral students. While solos are not typically part of this performance, their preparation and commitment made it an easy addition to the program.

Our Falcons also energized the audience with a bucket drumming club performance, bringing rhythm, energy, and creativity to the stage. Additionally, a special orchestral moment was created just for the show: fifth-grade orchestra students performed an integrated part written specifically for them within one of the pieces, highlighting their progress and musicianship.

Adding to the impact of the evening, student speakers shared messages in English, Spanish, and Ukrainian, reflecting the diverse voices and community represented at Frost.

A memorable night of music, collaboration, and student voice all around.

Yesterday, some of our staff got the chance to enjoy some much-needed puppy cuddles during their lunch hour.

Eight adorable puppies from the Heartland Animal Shelter – six boys and two girls celebrating their eight-week birthday – spent the hour soaking up attention and bringing smiles to staff members as our year winds down.

With names like Ranch, Crouton, Caesar and Thousand Island, the pups quickly stole hearts...and even experienced grass for the very first time!

STEM + A Sweet Treat!

Our fourth- and fifth-grade CodeMonkey challenge winners were able to celebrating their coding success in the best way possible: by making ice cream from scratch!

This hands-on activity turned their coding achievements into a fun science experience, connecting problem-solving in the digital world with real-world STEM learning (and a delicious treat at the end).

Smiles, teamwork (and a little science magic) made for a memorable day in the classroom!
