🌎 Ms. Heckman's 8th Grade Science classes spent the day measuring surface temperature of different locations on Earth using a model. Models are a great way to demonstrate what happens on Earth on a smaller scale.

It was a great day for science! 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬

🎭✨Freeland Performing Arts presents String the Musical ✨🎭

This November, our 7-12th graders are thrilled to bring you String — a heartfelt and hilarious new musical by Adam Gwon!

Filled with clever humor, moving songs, and unforgettable characters, String is a show that will make you laugh, reflect, and feel the beauty of being part of the shared human tapestry that connects us all.

Who you gonna call... for a ref?! 📞👻

Things got wild in Mrs. Gotts' PE class when Slimer showed up for a game of volleyball... as the BALL!

The students had a blast getting their fitness in with our special green guest. He's a little unpredictable on the court, but 10/10 for Halloween fun! 🎃💚
