Celebrity Couple from North Pole Surprise Students

December 16, 2022 by srincon

(San Antonio, TX) – Santa came for a return visit to say hello to all the good boys and girls of Southside this week. But, this time he had a surprise partner, Mrs. Claus! Mrs. Claus joined her partner for a tour around the district visiting every elementary and Menchaca Early Childhood Center during the last week of school before winter break. All PreK3 and Prek4 students got a gift bag along with all 1st and 2nd graders here at Cardinal Nation.  They were greeted with smiling faces and happy laughter. You could also hear a student sneaking in a wish or two while they got their picture taken with the celebrity couple. For a video on the fun event click the link.

Enjoy these fun photos from each campus!

Out with the old, In with the new

December 6, 2022 by Monica Saenz

Freedom is excited to announce the newest addition to our cafeteria. Our child nutrition department received a new serving line that was installed last week. This year is the 20th anniversary of the campus opening and it is a much deserved upgrade for our Freedom Cardinals. Our students can now look forward to sliding their trays through a state of the art serving line. Upgrades include the option to heat or chill plates at the push of a button and is customized with our school logo. The cafeteria staff is very excited to start serving our Freedom Cardinals.

Thanksgiving Food Drive

December 5, 2022 by Monica Saenz

Our student leaders were very busy supporting our community this month. Freedom collected non-perishable food items for two weeks. Students made posters to help advertise and once all donations were completed they worked together and made 10 boxes to donate to Freedom Families. For the month of December they are collecting unwrapped toys that will go to our Freedom students. Freedom student leaders are doing a great job supporting our campus and community!

Message From the Principal-December Edition

December 1, 2022 by crodriguez

Freedom Elementary is making wonderful gains as we move forward in the school year. We would like to highlight a few of the wonderful things we are doing here at Freedom. 

We have some amazing athletes on our Intramural teams. Our students continue on a winning streak for soccer and now basketball. Our coaches have done a fantastic job! Students must maintain passing grades, good attendance, and no behavior referrals to participate. Keep it up!  

Freedom has a sound dual language program and 5 of our students participated in the Spanish Spelling bee. Two of our 5th grade students won 1st and 3rd place. We are so proud of everyone for studying and practicing for the last few months. Way to represent Freedom and 5th grade! 

If you haven’t heard Freedom’s amazing choir you must! We have about 80 students in grades 3-5 that participate in choir. That is the largest choir I think Freedom has ever had. Our music teacher, Mr. V. does an amazing job. They perform next at the San Antonio International Airport on Dec. 7th. 

Our student leaders have been quite busy too. For Thanksgiving they collected food donations and were able to make 8 boxes of food available for any Freedom families in need. For the month of December they are collecting unwrapped toys that will go to our Freedom students. 

  Freedom’s daily attendance is slowly improving as we are getting healthier. Please be mindful our start time every day is 7:30 and tardies start at 7:35. Instruction begins immediately so please have your child here on time. We understand illness and emergencies arise, so please send in those excuses and you may always communicate with the office or classroom teacher.  

Finally, everyone in the Freedom Family would like to wish you a happy and healthy holiday season! Our winter break starts Dec.19 until Jan.2. Students return Jan. 4th. Please take time to rest and enjoy yourself. Freedom Elementary will be BACK IN ACTION and hit the ground running in January as we continue to strive for our A rating. 

 

Sincerely, 

 

Selina Puente
