Film Crew's Impact on Walkers' Path
Recently, we were made aware of some exciting news for Freehold Township. A film production crew is in our very own town filming a movie! Unfortunately, the trucks, cars, and equipment related to the film production are currently causing disruptions along our walkers' path.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please be aware that the film company does have a permit for that area, and since it is not school property, we do not have the authority to object to their presence.
If you prefer, you are welcome to pick up your child(ren) at our parent pick-up area during this period. We have been informed that this situation is expected to improve by our upcoming Spring Break.
If you would like to change your child(ren)'s pick-up routine, please send your changes via email to your child's homeroom teacher as well as Ms. Ranieri (dranieri@freeholdtwp.k12.nj.us) and Ms. Colabelli (rcolabelli@freeholdtwp.k12.nj.us).
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.

Our students had so much fun at our SK8 4 Life assembly! Thank you to West Freehold School's PTO for making our latest assembly possible!
SK8 4 Life was a 45-minute, action-packed assembly about being enthusiastic, engaged and empowered to be able to do or be whatever you want. SK8 4 Life showed students through an interactive and exciting skateboard presentation the benefits of developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
The presentation contained demonstrations (both on and off a skateboard) and examples of positive thinking, overcoming obstacles, uplifting others, and building community.
Thank you to our (very brave!) staff volunteers who volunteered for the "interactive" activities 😆 We are happy to share that Ms. Charles, Ms. Vitillo, Ms. Caruso, Ms. Balassone, Ms. Stokes, and Mr. Tiberi are all safe and had a great time at the assembly as well!
