Principals' Update

Dear Freedom Hill Families,

We hope you are enjoying the long weekend, and also hope that our students are recharging their batteries for what will certainly be an eventful and joyful end of the school year. Like the butterflies our preschools recently released (what a charming picture above!) each of our students has continued to grow and prepare for even greater things. We hope you'll join us in expressing pride for all that they have accomplished this year. And what better way to do so than by joining us for one of our coming events. In coming weeks, we'd love to see you at Cultural Heritage Night, the Freedom Hill 5K, and Field Day, to name a few.

We'd like to say a special thank you to our PTA, who held their end-of-year meeting last week. It has been another year in which so many contributors have enriched our community and provided memorable experiences for our students. An extra special thank you (and big applause!) is in order for our 2026 Harriet Best Award winners - Ausra Lagos, Emma Strauss, and LeeAnn Turner! You can read more about their contributions below.

Memorial Day and Eid al-Adha are important times for many of our families. We extend our warmest wishes to all our families celebrating the holiday and hope your time together is filled with peace and joy.

See you on Thursday!

In partnership,

Nicholas Zapadka, Principal

Tim Scesney, Asst. Principal

Holly Sims, Asst. Principal
