Freeland Middle School

🎬✨ 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

🏈💚 Game Day Spirit in Action! 💛💙

Our students brought the energy yesterday for Michigan vs. Michigan State! Love seeing all the team pride—now go enjoy the game!
