This summer, nearly every Freedom Hill classroom is being used for student learning. We have welcomed students from over 15 elementary schools for Extended School Year (ESY), and we are also hosting our own summer school program. A big thank you to all of our teachers involved, and especially Ms. Doherty, who is our summer school Director this year.

Reminder - yearbooks have arrived! For those students and families who pre-ordered, please stop by the school between 9:00 AM and 12 PM to pick up your copy. |

SCHOOL SUPPLY LISTS ARE IN! School supply lists for next year for each grade have been updated. Check them out here. Please note: we are not doing pre-ordered school supplies via Sprout this year. |
It's hard to believe the beginning of school will be here before you know it. Your PTA Board already is hard at work and we've already had our first planning meeting for the school year. Couple of announcements:
PTA EVENTS REIMAGINED
We are making adjustments to follow covid-19 guidelines and safety measures. With that there will be a few changes to our fall events. Read below for details:
* Back to School Picnic - Instead of having a Back to School BBQ, we are going to have a Back to School Picnic. We're hoping to bring a combination of either box lunch pre-orders and possibly food trucks to this fun community event where everyone can gather and catch up. You can still bring your own food/snacks/blankets and hang out on the black top.
PTA POSITIONS TO EXPLORE
We've have some great people step up to volunteer for a couple of positions so let's keep the momentum going. The top positions we need are:
1) Teacher Appreciation Chair/Co-Chairs - this is a great position to do with someone. If you are creative and can think of ways to show appreciation (we also have lots of ideas and resources), this position is for you. Time commitment is an effort every few months at key celebrations during the year and during the 1st week of May for Teacher Appreciation Week.
2) Harvest Fun Movie Night Chair/Co-Chairs - With HFN changed, we're looking for someone to help coordinate the logistics of a Halloween Movie Night and a few activities (guess the # of candy in a jar, etc.).
There are additional positions that need to be filled as well (International Parade Chair, Field Day Sponsorship Chair, Field Day Logistics, Garden/Landscape Chair, etc.). Contact PTA President, Sahar Javadi, to talk about what's involved at president@freedomhillpta.org.
KINDERGARTEN PLAYDATE - AUG. 10th at 6pm
We had a great Kindergarten playdate July 17th and had about 20 families of incoming kindergarteners come join us on the playground. It was wonderful to meet everyone. We'll do this again on August 10th at 6pm to meet on the playground for a cool and icy treat. We look forward to seeing you then!
