Many... many...many middle school updates!

We have had so many great things happening in the middle school recently. The last two weeks we have spent our lunch periods having a great volleyball tournament. We had over 10 teams participate in this tournament which got 50+ of our students participating in the tournament during this two week period.

Congratulations to our winning team!


Also, thank you to all of those students who participated and watched the tournament for the last two weeks.




What else have we had going on? We just had our first middle school dance! We are so excited about how it went and have to give a huge shout out to Mrs. Gotts and our middle school student council for putting on a great Halloween dance!





Finally, another shout out goes to Mrs. Gotts and her Health class for putting on a fantastic Project Based Learning gallery walk based on various research projects on different systems in the body. Whether it was the cardiovascular system, muscular system, digestive system or more the 8th grade health students knocked it out of the park with their presentations!






Great job Freeland Middle School students and staff - you make us proud to be Falcons. Every Day. Go Green! Go White! Go Falcons!

Freeland Middle School loves STEM!

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. This year, Freeland Middle School has embraced STEM in a variety of ways. There is no better way to show how we are positively impacting students through work in the STEM areas than through some pictures!

Ms. Heckman's 8th grade Science class had a great time exploring the STEM bus. Delta partnered with our school to bring the bus to FMS and engage students in a variety of activities including crime solving activities, virtual reality simulations and more!









We also started our first middle school after-school math club! Ms. Mehnert is using the MathCounts "club in a box" curriculum to guide students through a fun and exciting math based activity every week. The club meets after school every Monday, and has been a great success so far!




In class, Ms. Shea and Ms. Hannon make sure that our Chromebooks are being put to good use! They use technology almost daily in class to enhance student learning and have seen students engagement levels improve with the new Chromebooks the middle school purchased over the summer.





Overall, it is a great time to be a Falcon at Freeland Middle School! We are enjoying our start to the school year, and already have built great memories in our classes.
