While our 8th graders were hard at work taking the PSAT, our 7th graders took their learning on the road!

They enjoyed a great field trip to the SportsZone, rotating through fun and engaging stations—including a Junior Achievement session focused on financial literacy. It was a fantastic opportunity to build real-world skills while staying active and having fun. Thank you to Talia Brown and her team at the SportsZone for making it such a successful day!

Check out more photos from the day here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Gtf94D_wIftvoRW-NugjlWuvfmqQfhw5?usp=sharing

Proud of both groups for making the most of their day in different ways! 💪📚

🏔️🌧️❄️🌡️How is a bubble machine related to the different weather patterns between Seattle and Las Vegas??? Ms. Heckman and Mrs. Furst Science 8 classes can explain this to you. Bubbles represent water vapor and how it forms more precipitation on one side of a mountain and very little on the other side of the mountain.

🎬🍿 Not everyone hit the court… and that’s okay!

While the competition was heating up in the gym at Shoot Your Shot, another group kicked back and enjoyed a movie in the auditorium 🎥✨

It was a great way to relax, unwind, and spend time with friends on the last day before Spring Break.

We love offering something for everyone—whether you’re all about the action or prefer a more laid-back vibe!

Freeland Middle School is proud to recognize Mrs. Hannah Freel for her outstanding presentation at the statewide MACUL Conference!
