FREEMAN STRONG
Courtesy photo Students at Freeman High School say thanks to all who have helped and supported them since Sept. 13, when a student brought a weapon to school and shot and killed another student and injured three others.
The entire Freeman Family wants to thank the thousands of people and organizations from our community, our state and beyond for providing us with overwhelming support during our darkest hour. Your support has lifted us up and inspired us as we move along in our healing process. This tragedy has truly brought out the best in everyone — our students, our staff, our parents and our community — and we are so incredibly proud and grateful.
On Monday last week, our Freeman Family came together to welcome our students back to school. It was a really good day for Freeman. Watching our students walk back into the high school, arms and hands linked surrounded by staff and family was truly moving and something we will never forget. In a week filled with emotion and grief, this was such a positive moment for our students, staff and parents.
A special thanks to the first responders who acted so quickly and bravely to keep our students and staff safe.
Along with all the displays and messages of support from around the region, volunteers and donated food and services, we had more than 65 volunteer counselors from surrounding school districts and agencies along with therapy dogs here on campus providing invaluable services to all students, staff and parents. These resources will be available for as long as needed.
We know the healing process will be long and difficult but your outpouring of love and support is so helpful and will never be forgotten. Thanks to you, our Freeman Family is Freeman Strong!
Thank you.
The Freeman Family
