Freedom Elementary

The 25-26 school year has officially ended and our halls are already too quiet without our students and teachers!

Even though summer has just begun, we're already planning for our 26-27 school year...and something BIG is coming to Freedom Elementary this fall… 🕹️✨

Our Freedom Arcade is officially being built and prepared for student use, and we cannot wait for our students who SOAR with Safety, Ownership, Awesome Attitude, and Respect to experience it! Students will even have opportunities to use their Eagle Bucks to purchase arcade experiences and rewards!

A huge THANK YOU to Mr. and Mrs. Berg for generously using their time and talents to build the arcade games for our students. We are also so grateful for the incredible partnership and support of our Freedom Eagles PTA in helping purchase and assemble the arcade. This has been a community effort, and we know our students are going to LOVE it 😍

Enjoy your summer, Eagles! We can’t wait to see you back in the fall! ☀️🦅

A huge THANK YOU to our Freedom Eagles PTA for an amazing end-of-year party! 🎉💛

The silent disco glow dance party was a hit and the bounce houses kept students smiling nonstop. So much fun and laughter filled our halls today. Thank you to everyone who helped plan, organize, and make this event so special for our students to celebrate a wonderful school year! 🦅🌟

Today was a special day as we welcomed back the Class of 2026 for Senior Walk! 🎓❤️

Our halls were filled with excitement, pride, and lots of smiles as these seniors returned to where their educational journey began. Watching our former Eagles walk through the building reminded our current students that big dreams really can take flight!

We are also proud to celebrate that this year’s valedictorians from both Timber Creek High School and Central High School are Freedom Elementary alumni! What an incredible accomplishment and a reflection of their hard work, determination, and character.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026 -- your Freedom family is so proud of you, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing things ahead for each of you. Once an Eagle, always an Eagle! 🦅✨

Our teachers shape lives far beyond the classroom. 🌏
They are encouragers, role models, and problem-solvers who spark curiosity, celebrate growth, and inspire a lifelong love of learning. Each day, they go the extra mile to ensure every student feels seen, valued, and capable—building not only knowledge, but confidence and character.

To our FRES teachers: thank you for your care, commitment, and professionalism. We truly appreciate all that you do! 💙🤍❤️
