The Stem Bus from Delta College paid a visit to FMS for our 8th grade science students to experience STEM activities, both on the bus and in the classroom. While half of the class was on the bus experiencing a welding simulation, 3D pens, electric circuits, VR goggles, robotics, and other activities, the other half were in the classroom using Cubelets and Ozobot Evo's. The Stem Bus is returning Tuesday for the students to experience the other half of the visit.

Mr. LaFond’s 7th grade Medical Detectives class learned about various structures that make up the human brain. The sheep brain is very similar to the human brain, but it also possesses some important differences. The purpose of dissecting a sheep brain is to explore the three dimensional structure of the brain as well as to investigate how the spinal cord and major nerves connect to the brain.

Freeland Parent Support Organization (FPSO) is hosting a fundraiser. Every purchase sends 40% to our cause. FPSO does all sorts of wonderful things for the students of Freeland Community School District. For instance, did you know that the FPSO once was able to purchase a car for a student who was in desperate need of one? That gift changed the family's life dramatically. FPSO has also helped students shop for school clothes and school supplies. Please consider showing your support for the FPSO by purchasing some products. Your support is just a few clicks away! Thank you for your help! Link is below. https://www.boonsupply.com/collections/614378-freeland-parent-support-organization-fpso
