Freeland Middle School

We were 'hunting' for school spirit today, and we definitely found it! 🎯🦌

So much camouflage and hunter's orange in the halls for Hunting Season Day. You all looked sharp, Falcons! 🧡

Thanks to everyone who participated! Get those spooky, creative, and fun outfits ready... tomorrow is HALLOWEEN COSTUME DAY! 🎃👻🦇

Big news from Journalism class! 📣

Our students tackled the "inverted pyramid challenge" last week. Their mission:

Receive a jumbled list of fictional events 👽🌪️💥.

Work in teams to write a professional news article.

Nail the headline, story flow, and get the most important facts up top! 🔺

A special shoutout to our challenge winners, Brodey Bursick and Calli Rose! 🥇🥇 They combined creativity and critical thinking to produce a polished and impressive article. Way to go! 🎉

🎬✨ Creativity came to life in Ms. Atkinson’s Creative Writing class! Students took a piece of their original writing and transformed it into short videos — and Friday, they got to enjoy their final creations. What an awesome way to bring storytelling to the screen! 🎥📖💡

Who knew spaghetti and marshmallows could teach teamwork? 🍝🔥 Our Student Leadership class spent their 25-minute period building towers using just spaghetti, string, and tape—with a marshmallow on top! The tallest structure stood at 20 cm! #TalonsUp #FalconsFlyFar #TeamBuilding
