News & Events at Freedom MS - Week of February 2nd
Welcome / Bienvenidos
Freedom Families,
This week, we had the opportunity to celebrate students who had two or fewer absences in Quarter 2! These students enjoyed a free Excel session, where they played in the gym and engaged in board games in the MPR. We are proud of their commitment to attendance and encourage all students to continue making school a priority.
Looking ahead, PTSA is partnering with NJHS to sell Valentine’s Day Candy Grams during lunch on February 10th, 11th, and 12th. These will be delivered to students on February 14th. If you would like to send a Candy Gram to your child, follow these steps:
- Send $1 per Candy Gram via Zelle to PTOFREEDOM@bsd100.org and include your child’s name in the memo.
- Email PTOFREEDOM@bsd100.org with your child’s name, grade, and Excel teacher to confirm.
- PTSA will send a confirmation once your payment has been received.
Lastly, a reminder that Tuesday is a late start—students begin class at 9:15 AM. Please plan accordingly.
Thank you for your continued support!
Have a great week!

Daily Announcements
As was recently shared in a previous Patriot Post, we have created a year long program called Kindness Through Connection at Freedom Middle School, with various interventions, programs and activities occurring throughout the year related to that theme. So far this year students and staff have done an amazing job nominating classmates and staff that they believe represent kindness. Anyone that has been nominated for a kind act was recognized with a locker tag "caught being kind thumbs-up." Both those that were recognized, as well as the person doing the recognizing were entered into a raffle, which allowed three students per group, per grade level, and three staff members to choose items from our Kindness Kart during lunch. Over the past two weeks we have asked staff members to nominate students in their classes that they see going over and above to demonstrate kindness to others. In the week and a half program we had 129 teacher generated submissions. Of those 129 submissions we randomly selected ten students per grade to participate in a pizza party that will take place this coming Monday during their lunch period. We are so grateful for all of the teachers that participated in this special initiative, as well as for the students exhibiting kindness through the school and community. This brings our total number submissions for the Caught Being Kind Challenge to 753 nominations!
