Project Lead the Way
Students have been super busy using the engineering knowledge they have gained this year as well as their hands and minds to create multiple designs like cardboard furniture, projectile launchers, egg drop devices and straw towers. Each project had its own set of constraints that had to be met. It’s wonderful to see all the different designs come together from the same set of constraints.

Freddie Care Closet
The goal is to provide students with food, clothing or personal items while keeping it anonymous.
How it works:
- Students scan the QR code and email is sent to one of the Counselors.
- The student will be called down to meet with the Counselor to discuss their needs.
- If the student is comfortable, the Counselor and student can walk together to the Care Closet or the student can share what they need and the Counselor will get it for them.

Supporting Our Freddies
Our priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of our students. We encourage everyone to actively participate in creating a nurturing environment that promotes open communication, empathy, and understanding. If you know a student who may need support, or if you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our social workers or school counselors. Working together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of our students.
