Dear Freedom Hill Community,
We hope you and your family enjoyed the long weekend, and had some time to reflect on the Memorial Day remembrances.
On Thursday, we had the wonderful opportunity to welcome back our current graduating seniors to Freedom Hill. They are graduating tomorrow! It was really thrilling to not only see them in the building again after many years, but to see our young students so enamored with what will certainly be their future selves. Congratulations Marshall High School Class of 2022! We are very proud of you.
This week, many of our end-of-year activities kick into full gear, culminating with Field Day on Friday. A big thank you to all of the staff and volunteers who make this day possible. Though we only have two weeks of school remaining, learning is still happening each day, and we ask that your child(ren) continues to attend until the end of the year.
As always, please contact us if you have any questions, concerns or great things to share about our students and staff. Have a great week.
In partnership,
Nicholas Zapadka, Principal
Eric Kopacz, Asst. Principal
