During the 2024–2025 school year, students in the adapted curriculum program  at Frost Middle School  participated in Community Based Instruction (CBI) trips to gain hands-on life skills in real-world settings. These experiences included behind-the-scenes tours of Trader Joe’s and the local Fire Department, mailing letters at the United States Post Office, and practicing money and social skills while shopping at Safeway, Five Below, and Target. Students also had the opportunity to dine at Tony’s NY Pizza, and Cameron’s Chocolates  where they applied budgeting and communication skills in a restaurant setting.
