The FLMS Superintendent’s Round Table met on Thursday the 17th to engage in meaningful conversation between students, Ms. Francisco and Mr. Strauss. What a GREAT group of Lakers! We talked about ways that we can collectively make this school better in so many ways.
What’s cooking at FLMS:
Each year the VFW gives out nearly a million dollars in prizes and scholarships to students who compete across the country in the Patriots Pen Essay Contest. Freetown and Lakeville have a long history in competing and excelling in this competition that encourages patriotism and examination of American history. This year's winners that will represent our school at the district competition are Corinne Mello, Miley Parisee and Gabriella Oliver!
Picture Retakes were held Thursday the 17th. Here is a flyer for ordering information.
Student Council- We will be rolling out our first student podcast later this month, to communicate across all grade levels. Stay tuned!
