Our annual Easter Bash is coming up in a few weeks. This is a huge event for our PTO and we are looking for a few volunteers to help out. Please click on the link and sign up for a time if you're available. Any help is greatly appreciated! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0C48A4AA2AA7F58-easter
Check out the attached flyer for more information. The all-you-can-eat breakfast is new this year, so please come hungry! We'll be posting pictures of the raffle baskets shortly.
A reminder there will be no school on Thursday & Friday, March 16 & 17. 🐾🍀
Just a reminder that tomorrow is our Freedom Movie Night sponsored by our PTO! Feel free to come dressed in pajamas!
Adult supervision is required at all times; learners are not allowed to be dropped off. This is usually a well-attended event, so we need everyone sitting quietly and watching the movie. Running and moving around a lot is a distraction for those that are watching.
We hope you can make it. Details in the flyer.
Come to the Harrisburg High School Performing Arts Center on March 14 @ 6:30 PM to hear the Freedom 3rd grade students perform!
Mr. Knips had a close call with the supercomputer, but you managed to save him just in the nick of time! The grade level that swooped in with the win this week….Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten! You need a rest for your heroic efforts, so Tuesday, March 7th, Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten may wear pajamas to school!
Keep an eye on the HERO board to see what kind of trouble Mrs. Husske gets into next week.
Congratulations Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarteners! Awesome job being ‘Here Every day, Ready to learn, and On time!’

If you were at drop-off this morning, hopefully you caught a glimpse of our welcoming gorilla, Ivan. He was visiting Freedom Elementary this morning to introduce our new One Book One School book selection - The One and Only Ivan! The book, a parent letter, and a reading schedule went home with the oldest learner in the family today. This book is yours to keep; thank you to the PTO for purchasing over 300 books!
Starting next Tuesday, we will be following the reading schedule to read 15-20 pages each day at school. We would like families at home to re-read those same pages, discuss the book, and answer some of the home extension questions that are included in the reading schedule.
We also have a podcast (https://anchor.fm/freedom-obos) where you can listen to the reading if you'd like to mix it up a bit. This can be a great option for car rides or for younger learners not able to read the text independently. We have lots of fun activities planned at school and are excited for you and your family to read along at home!
HSD Community Education had such an amazing response for our first Yoga class, we've added another! Spots are LIMITED and will fill up quickly.
