From our award-winning PTO:
We are collecting Box Tops to generate money for our school. Each month Ms. Sullivan and Peer Leader volunteers sort, count, and organize the Box Tops students bring in to their homerooms. Box Tops should be placed in a small plastic bag with the student’s name on it. We will monitor the collection progress on a chart in the cafeteria. There will be prizes for the top 20 Box Top collectors! Your family can make a difference for our school every time you shop for groceries! Just clip the Box Tops coupons from hundreds of your favorite products and send them to school with your child! Download a complete list of participating products. Parents should check the Box Tops for Education website daily/weekly. There are coupons and contests to enter on a regular basis to help earn money for the middle school. For more information, please contact Linda Curtin at LCurtin@aol.com.
Please visit the Hannaford Helps Schools website for information about how you can help in raising funds for our school. Our school is registered for this program.

We continue to experience a shortage of qualified substitute nurses and are seeking RN's, with a current Mass. license, who have time during the school day for occasional coverage for grades K-12. We will provide orientation. If you have a child in our school system, but not in the building you are asked to cover, you will be entitled to use the Fore and Aft Program with our compliments for that day. Please contact Mrs. Linda Cass, RN at 508- 923-3506 (lcass@freelake.org) or Mrs. Deb Levesque, RN at 508-923-3518 Ext. 2142 (dlevesque@freelake.org).

GoodSearch: Please consider using GoodSearch.com as your primary search engine. If you designate our school as the recipient, we will receive funds every time you search! Please specify Freetown Lakeville Middle School where it asks "Who do you GoodSearch for?" and click "Verify". Thank you for your help.
Paper Recycling: Our school participates in a paper recycling program with Abitibi Paper Retriever whereby we receive funds for every pound of paper we collect. Everyone in our community is encouraged visit our school regularly to deposit household waste paper into the large green and yellow dumpster located in our parking lot! Accepted are newspapers, magazines, shopping catalogs, office & school paper, and mail. Cardboard is not accepted. Thank you for your participation.
Cell Phone & Ink/Toner Cartridge Recycling: FLMS collects old cell phones, empty inkjet cartridges, and empty laserjet toner cartridges for recycling. Our school receives funds for every box we send to Funding Factory. Please help us by taking these recyclables to our main office or by sending them to school with your child. In addition, we can enlist local businesses (small and large) to keep and fill boxes on our behalf. These businesses can send filled boxes directly using our prepaid shipping labels or we can arrange to collect boxes and send them from our school. Thank you for any help you may provide.

Family Vacations: We strongly discourage taking vacations while school is in session. Work will not be provided for students on vacations and will need to be made up after school or on the students' time when they return. Absences truly affect students' academic progress and create gaps in their learning.
The staff of FLMS wishes to express its sincere appreciation for all the support our PTO provides throughout the year.
