Attention LC and ES families! Our LC/ES Fall PTO fundraiser is underway and we are 35% of the way to our goal, and we are so close to having our PJ Day! We have 181 students registered so far.

We are working on our goal of earning money from all 50 states, we are almost halfway there already.

After learning about Johnny Appleseed and his importance to Michigan's apple crop, and also learning about the state flower, the Apple Blossom, Mrs. Trainor's 3rd graders, made homemade applesauce. The apples were picked straight from Mrs. Wilder's trees. The students thought it was DELICIOUS!

Congratulations to Mrs. Lambert, special education teacher at Freeland Elementary!
It was another great week at FCSD Summer Camp! Our 6th-8th graders were able to take advantage of some of the greatness that our Tri-Cities has to offer. They visited Delta College to see everything about their campus, and took a trip to the Zilwaukee Bridge. The students learned about what they need for the bridge, how it was constructed, challenges they faced during construction, and what it takes to maintain it. They even got to tour the inside of the bridge to see how it was built from the inside out! The group covered about 3/4 mile inside the bridge to the halfway point. What a great experience for our students (and you can see the staff had a little fun too!).
Summer Camp for our 6-8th graders kicked off this week, and they had a great time! They got to walk to Memorial Park and do some geocaching. The students learned about lines of latitude, longitude, cardinal directions, measurement and geometry. On Thursday, they took a trip to SVSU to tour the campus! It was a great first week and everyone is looking forward to the rest of camp.
Freeland Elementary School sends a special thank you to all of the supporters for our Class of 2030! The t-shirts were wonderful as the 6th graders finished out so many of their end of the year activities!
Our 3rd and 4th grade Ukulele Club had their final performance earlier this week! Their smiles say it all, and we are so proud of them. Thank you Miss Deschaine for everything you did for our students!
Mr. Wildey's 5th grade writing class completed their informative writing unit by designing board games after researching a famous person. They even get to play the games this week with their friends in class!
Last Friday, our PALSS team had a picnic to celebrate all of their accomplishments this school year. The students got to play yard games, and enjoy a hot dog picnic lunch with all of their new friends from throughout the school year. Thank you to all of the teachers and staff that took time to set up this great event, and thank you to Mr. Hillborg and Mrs. Groulx for grilling!
