📷 Honoring Our Heroes on Veterans Day 🇺🇸 Today at Freeport Middle School, we gathered as a school family to honor our nation’s heroes in a heartfelt Veterans Day program. Our talented band and chorus filled the room with patriotic songs, setting a powerful tone for the morning. A special thank you to our Dean of Students, Mr. Gillis, an Army Veteran, for sharing his personal story. He encouraged our students to see themselves as future superheroes, forming their own “origin stories” built on strength, service, and resilience. We are incredibly fortunate at FMS to have numerous dedicated teachers who are military veterans and countless students with family members who have served or are currently serving in the military. Their experiences enrich our school community and remind us of the sacrifice and commitment it takes to protect our freedoms. Stay tuned – we’ll be sharing videos from today’s inspiring ceremony soon. #FMSBulldogs
