Freedom 3rd and 4th grade students were treated to a fun-filled STAAR Rally on Friday morning. Teachers got mummy-wrapped by their students and then played a terrific game of dodge ball! They even got to do some cool drumming with, Jorge, our very own district drum guru!! The purpose of the rally was to get the students excited about doing well on the STAAR tests, and to have some fun before they have to test on Monday and Tuesday. Good luck to all students on next week’s tests!
