This morning, the United States Department of Agriculture announced that it would extend free breakfast and lunch for all students through the end of the 2022 school year. This is welcome news for our students, our schools and community as the nation continues to recover from the economic, educational and health emergencies of the past year.
Today’s announcement helps ensure that kids will continue to have consistent access to the nutrition they need as families and communities continue along the long path of recovery.
This week, the Freeland Learning Center is highlighting one of our kindergarten teachers, Mrs. O’Hora. Although this is her first year teaching in the district, she has already made a positive impact on our learning community.
Mrs. O’Hora’s passion for teaching our youngest Falcon’s comes through in all she does for her students. Her warm and caring classroom is a wonderful place for kindergartens to develop their skills and talents.
When asked what she finds most rewarding about her position, Mrs. O’Hora said, “One thing I find most rewarding about my job is to see how our classroom community started as a room full of students who did not know each other and turned into the class family that we are now. To see the friendships grow and blossom between students is so amazing!”
What she enjoys most about working in the Freeland Community School District is how special and close knit this community is. She feels very supported by the staff members, parents and the many other members of the Freeland community.
Thank you Mrs. O’Hora for your dedication to the students and families of the Freeland Learning Center and for all you do for the Freeland Community School District.
Congratulations to FHS Junior Annaleese Armstrong. Earning a perfect score on her Proficiency Solo, Annaleese has been recognized as an Outstanding Performer by MSBOA and is one of 23 students across the state to be recognized as an outstanding Proficiency 1 Flute Soloist.

A Sinking Fund is levied each year and the revenue generated can only be designated for the construction or repair of school buildings and other purposes authorized by law. Sinking Fund revenues cannot be used for general fund expenditures (i.e., salaries, instructional materials, operating expenses).
A Sinking Fund millage is levied, not borrowed, which means the revenues are generated from a tax and do not include the district taking on additional debt. Therefore, no interest expense is incurred with a Sinking Fund.
Freeland had seven (7) wrestlers advance to the Individual State Finals on Saturday (the Team advanced to the State Finals as well). Congratulations to: Cole Fournier, Noah Graham, Gibby Shepherd, Tyler Tomasek, Nolan VanLoo, Wilson Longenecker, & Cayden Remainder.
