Something Exciting from the PTA

We have been able to have a successful year so far and have added two fall after school dances! Those will be split up K-2 and 3-5 on November 18th and November 20th. Both dances will be FREE entry for all students! More information to come but as always a HUGE thank you to our Freedom families!

This is an incredible opportunity for students to explore new places, experience different cultures, and gain lifelong skills like independence and confidence. I’ll be sharing all the details, including what we’ll see and do, hands-on learning activities, academic opportunities, trip costs, and how to secure a spot at our informational meeting.

Meeting details:
Date: November 4
Time: 6:00 PM
Location: Hebron Middle School Library
RSVP here to join us: https://rsvp.eftours.com/7hvbpcg

We’ll also open enrollment during the meeting—spots are limited, and I would love to help you secure this experience for your child.

In the meantime, please visit EF’s website to get answers to common parent questions. EF Tours is our trusted travel partner, and they have 60 years of experience helping students explore the world safely and affordably.

I hope to see you there and look forward to sharing how this trip can be a powerful and unforgettable chapter in your child’s life!
