💜 Honoring Our Military Families at FMS 💜
Today marked the conclusion of the Month of the Military Child, and we were proud to celebrate with a special Heroes Reception here at Freeport Middle School.

Thank you to our military families for your service, your strength, and the impact you make on our school every single day. We are honored to serve you! 💜
