School Updates

  • Kindness Week - The FLMS Student Council and the Freelake Lakers are celebrating National Kindness Day, November 13th, by hosting a Kindness Challenge next week.  To demonstrate ways we can be kind to each other, the Kindness Challenge will have the students complete various kindness tasks throughout the week.  Any student who completes all five challenges by Friday, November 17th, will become a Kindness Champion and receive a Badge of Kindness honor.

  • PTO Booster Bash Fundraiser - As of this morning, we have raised $10,266 toward our goal of $15,000 for field trips, after school enrichments, and end of year socials. 11/15/2023 is only 5 days away to get there!

  • The FLMS Student Council raised $505 to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation during the month of October.  Thank you to all the students, staff, and parents who gave generously.  Our donations provided much needed support to families affected by this dreaded disease. For a short time, the link to donate will remain open for those who would like to support this worthy cause.  https://fundraise.nbcf.org/FLMSColorofCaring

  • Auditions for the Spring Musical, The Wizard of Oz, will take place on January 2nd and 4th.  Don’t forget!
