Welcome to Freedom Elementary!
Freedom
Elementary is a school built on Pride…Freedom Pride. Freedom is a
two-time National Blue Ribbon Award recipient for character. While
upholding the rigor of the state standards, we believe in teaching the
whole child. Everything we do at Freedom, from the academic to the
social to the emotional pieces of education, stands on the foundation of
our nine Pride Skills: citizenship, compassion, honesty, integrity,
motivation, respect, responsibility, self-discipline and teamwork.
We see it as an advantage
that our students are able to attend a school that celebrates its highly
diverse population. We are proud to have the opportunity to teach our
students in a cultural setting that represents the community and allows
our students to develop an understanding of the perspectives of people
from different backgrounds, eventually leading them to be productive
citizens.
Freedom believes in developing students who are prepared to be successful in the 21st
century. We are extremely excited to be moving forward with our goal of
providing our students with the full implementation of a STEAM2 Lab
for the upcoming school year. Projects will include computer
programming, robotics, engineering and many more design process
activities to engage and motivate students.
We are always looking to the future at Freedom, with our students being the main focus.
