The Freeman FFA was awarded a grant through the South Dakota FFA Foundation using funds raised on Giving Tuesday. This included a match grant from Wendy Mortenson Agency/American Family Insurance. The funds provided eight FFA chapters with sets of ten FFA jackets for their chapters. Through a competitive application process of the SD FFA Foundation, the following FFA chapters have been selected to receive the funds: Baltic, Brandon Valley, Brookings, Doland, Freeman, Hoven, Newell, and Wilmot. Chapter-owned jackets are used by any FFA member that doesn’t own so they can borrow as needed. Thank you SD FFA Foundation and Wendy Mortenson Agency!

Due to the incoming weather, the varsity girls' basketball game will be moved to a 5:00 pm start time and the boys' game will begin shortly after the completion of the varsity girls' game. Go Flyers!
Freeman Parents,
Due to the age and condition of our main gym floor covering, we are only able to use a portion of it for the concert this evening. As a result, there will be fewer seats available (60 seats) on the gym floor. We ask that the chairs on the gym floor be reserved for individuals that need main floor seating. Both sides of the bleachers will also be available for seating.
The concert begins at 7:00 pm.
Thank you,
Freeman Administration

If you graduated in years 2017-2019 and would like your cumulative folder, please make arrangements with the HS office to pick it up on or before December 20th.
Last call for Popcorn Balls! The Junior Class is selling the World's Only Corn Palace Popcorn Balls as a Prom Fundraiser. If you've never had them, they are beyond delicious! Plus, they'd make great stocking stuffers!!
They need to let the Corn Palace know tomorrow morning how many to order, so if anyone still wants to order any, today is your last chance. Please let a junior class member, Joyce Hora, or Heidi Schrag know know how many you'd like to order.
1 popcorn ball = $4
5 popcorn balls = $18
20 popcorn balls = $75
Thanks for your support of the Junior Class!!
