The Freedom Phenom
August 2024
PRINCIPAL'S NOTE
Freedom Families, welcome to the 2024-2025 Academic Year! I am hopeful that each of you was able to spend time with friends and family this summer creating great memories. We are excited to see our newest installment of Freedom Patriots learn and grow in the coming months. That growth is not possible without your support and cooperation. It is our utmost goal to form a strong partnership with each Freedom Family to maximize support for each student. Our primary objective is to see our Patriots become the very best versions of themselves possible. Please know that we are here to listen, learn, and work with you to help your student. Please contact us any time. Go Pats!
All the best,
Chad Flatt, Ed.D
Principal
