A Message From the Principal
Good afternoon,
We celebrated our Trimester 2 PAWSitive Behavior with an assembly today during Flex. Students were recognized for Practicing safety, Accepting responsibility, Working for success, and Showing Respect. We also recognized all fall and winter sports teams. NJHS led a great game of tug of war.
Report cards can be viewed in Teacherease beginning on Monday, March 3rd. We will work to finalize Honor Roll and share certificates with students on Friday, March 14th.
Reminder - No School on 3/6 (P/T Conferences) and 3/7 (Teacher Institute Day)
Join us tonight for the February Frenzy (6:00 - 8:00 pm). Please see your email for drop off and pick up procedures!
Warm Regards,
Emily Loerakker
Fremont MS Principal
Second Trimester PAWS Assembly
We had a great time celebrating PAWSitive Behavior. Thank you to NJHS and their Executive Board for a great game of tug of war. Congratulations to the The Aura-Gators who took down the front office team in the championship match. Students collected over 260 food items for the Fremont Township Food Pantry as part of this friendly competition!
