We had the pleasure of hosting student leaders from Frankenmuth EF Rittmueller Middle School for a day of collaboration, connection, and leadership growth! 🟢⚪️🦅

Our Falcons 🟢🦅 and the visiting Eagles 🔴⚪️🦅 enjoyed sharing ideas, building relationships, and learning from one another through meaningful conversations and activities. It’s always inspiring to see young leaders come together with a shared goal of making their schools and communities even better. 💬✨

Thank you to Frankenmuth EF Rittmueller for visiting!

Last night, Freeland Middle School Esports faced off against Warren Woods Middle School’s Green Team. We finished the match 1-3, bringing our playoff run to a close.

We’re proud to share that our team finished 11th out of 73 middle school teams across Michigan this spring season—a tremendous accomplishment!

More importantly, our students showed incredible growth, teamwork, and dedication throughout the season. Their improvement has been exciting to watch, and it’s clear the future is bright for both our players and this program.

Thank you to everyone who supported FMS Esports this season—we’re just getting started!
