🎓 Freeland Falcon Senior Spotlight: Sally Yu
Sally has been a Falcon since Young 5s and has explored her interests through Literary Art Club and Esports, and previously through band until the end of her sophomore year. Throughout high school, she is most proud of stepping outside her comfort zone and growing in confidence when interacting and communicating with others.
Something people might be surprised to learn is that Sally understands three languages: English, Mandarin Chinese, and Fuzhounese, a Chinese dialect.
To Sally, being a Freeland Falcon means getting involved and allowing yourself to grow.
After graduation, she hopes to major in neuroscience with a minor in business. This year, she is especially looking forward to taking a trip to visit her dad’s hometown in China.
Outside of school, Sally enjoys writing and reading poetry that connects to her personally, often typing her own pieces as a way to express her thoughts and feelings.
Her advice for younger Falcons:
💬 “Always look on the positive side and remember that failure isn’t an end, it’s a journey of learning towards success.”

✨ Staff Spotlight ✨
Lynn Hoffmann, Spanish Teacher at Freeland High School, has been part of the Freeland community for 23 years, teaching Spanish to students in grades 9–12. She has spent her entire career in Freeland, a testament to the strong connections she has built with students, staff, and the community.
“I have been lucky enough to work in Freeland for my entire career,” Lynn shared. “The students, staff, and community have kept me here!”
Lynn loves teaching a subject that encourages students to look beyond their own “bubbles” and learn about the world through language and culture. One of the most rewarding parts of her work is hearing from former students who reach out to share that they are using Spanish in their professional and personal lives.
Outside the classroom, Lynn enjoys reading, watching movies, cheering on her kids at sporting events, traveling, and spending time up north at her family cottage and in the Upper Peninsula. During the summer and on spring break, you can often find her at the beach whenever she gets the chance.
Travel is a big part of Lynn’s teaching journey. This summer, she is traveling abroad with students to Italy and Greece, a trip she is especially excited about as she has never been to Greece and has family roots there. Over the years, Lynn and fellow educator Mindi Hannon have taken students on many trips, both across the U.S. and internationally, including Chicago, multiple countries in Europe, and Costa Rica. She finds it incredibly meaningful to help bring culture and new experiences to students through travel.
What Lynn loves most about Freeland is its close-knit, supportive nature. “People here take pride in their community,” she said, “and that’s a privilege to be a part of as an educator.”
Thank you, Mrs. Hoffmann, for opening doors to the world through language, culture, and unforgettable experiences for Freeland students! 💚🤍

🎓 Freeland Falcon Senior Spotlight: Janae Klein
Janae has been a Falcon since Young 5s and has truly embraced being involved. From Girls on the Run in 5th grade to cross country and track (6th–12th), marching band, symphony, concert, and pep band, Cornhole Club, Links volunteer work, and her youth program at Hopevale Church, she has made the most of every opportunity.
She is especially proud of placing 30th in cross country during the 2024–2025 season at her home course. Something people may not know about her is that she was adopted as a baby. Janae shares that her mom, dad, brother, grandparents, and friends have supported her every step of the way.
To her, being a Freeland Falcon means being part of a big family and involved community, showing up for others, and taking pride in knowing that in Freeland, no one flies alone.
After graduation, she plans to attend Delta College for two years before transferring to Michigan State University to pursue veterinary medicine.
Her favorite class has been STEM with Mrs. Clark because of the creative, hands-on projects. Outside of school, she enjoys reading mystery novels.
Her advice for younger Falcons:
💬 “Use your time in every class wisely because when you do, you’ll never have to worry all that much about succeeding.”

We’re almost halfway through Reading Month, and it’s been a great start! This year we’re celebrating with a double header of literacy fun. 📚💚
All classrooms are participating in the Lou E. Loon’s Reading Program, presented by Delta College and the Great Lakes Loons. The program helps turn classroom reading achievements into unforgettable ballpark memories for students.
We also brought back our Reading March Madness bracket. This year’s book selections are extra special because they were chosen as part of Mrs. Quast’s class passion project last year. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate student voice and legacy while our school votes its way to a champion.
Let’s keep the momentum going and make the rest of Reading Month the best one yet. Happy reading, Falcons. 📖⚾

💚🤍 Falcon Alumni Spotlight: Bailey Ross, Class of 2016
Meet Bailey Ross, a proud Freeland alum who has built a career centered on compassion and service. After graduating in 2016, Bailey earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology and her master’s degree in clinical social work with a specialization in addiction from Michigan State University. She now serves as an Assistant Clinical Director at an inpatient residential treatment center in Kalamazoo, where she supports individuals during some of the most vulnerable and transformative moments of their lives.
Bailey’s favorite memories from Freeland include the lasting impact of the staff who guided and encouraged her, as well as the friendships that continue to shape who she is today.
Since leaving Freeland, she is most proud of earning both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees and recently being promoted to Assistant Clinical Director. She is especially grateful for the trust placed in her leadership and clinical experience.
Through her work, Bailey has learned the power of patience, empathy, and meeting people exactly where they are. Supporting individuals through recovery has reinforced the importance of consistency, compassion, and believing in someone’s ability to heal.
Her advice to current Falcons: Stay committed to the work, even when it feels hard, and trust the process. Stay curious, build your skills, and lead with compassion. Your dedication will open doors and allow you to make a real difference.
Bailey hopes future Falcons continue to grow into leaders who care deeply for others and use their strengths to positively impact the world around them.

✨ Staff Spotlight ✨
Rebecca Stewart, School Social Worker serving students from 3-year-olds through 12th grade in Special Education, has been part of the Freeland team for eight years. Her work spans all grade levels, allowing her to build meaningful connections with students and families across the district.
“I wanted to work in education because I wanted to empower students to understand just how important they are,” Rebecca shared. “Each person has a unique gift and strength, sometimes, they just need a little help seeing it.”
Having worked in several districts over the years, Rebecca says one of the things she values most about Freeland is the strong support system in place for students and their families. “We have many great resources that help not just students, but their families as well,” she said.
Her message to students is both honest and encouraging: “It’s okay to make mistakes! That’s how we learn best. What matters is never giving up and not listening to those who try to drag you down. Instead, listen to those who build you up. And if you’re not surrounded by those people… change your scenery.”
The most rewarding part of Rebecca’s role is helping students recognize their strengths and believe in themselves, especially as she watches students facing significant challenges grow and find their inner resilience over time.
Something most people don’t know about Rebecca is that she had all kinds of pets growing up, including snakes, hamsters, newts, a gerbil, a dog, and a cat. Outside of work, she enjoys reading biographies, mysteries, and comedies, and spending quality time with family making memories together. If she could travel anywhere, she’d choose anywhere new to explore and experience something different.
Rebecca describes herself as imperfect, passionate, and supportive, and loves Freeland for its unique balance of being close to everything while still offering the peace of a quiet, country life.
Thank you, Mrs. Stewart, for empowering students, supporting families, and helping Freeland learners believe in their own strength every day! 💚🤍
