Hello Freedom Families,

On behalf of our Freedom staff we want you to know that your safety and well-being is a top priority and last week’s winter storm was an example of how our basic needs come first before we can function at work or school. We want to make sure that your needs are being met and if you need assistance, please contact our campus for resources. Mrs. Barajas, our Counselor and Ms. Thatcher, our Social Worker, can provide access to resources in the city. Everyone was impacted and it was a traumatic experience for so many people and if there is something we can do to help. please reach out to us. We look forward to better days and especially having your children back with us as soon as possible!

Upcoming events: 

• Read Across America on March 2nd-Students will be able to dress up in their favorite book character on that day. Throughout the month students can also  participate in a family project-“cake war”.  The design can be made of various materials from home to look like a cake that reflects the child’s favorite book. More details will be shared next week.
• Women’s History Month: Look for activities from our teachers to honor the contributions of women in our community, state, country and world. 

Important upcoming dates:

• Spring Break is March 8th-12th
• Daylight Savings March 14th- spring forward 1 hour
• PBIS dress up days March 15th-18th
