😍Our elementary students did a fantastic job showing their spirit for USA Day during Homecoming Week! Dressed in red, white, and blue, they lit up the halls with Flyer pride! ❤️🤍💙

On October 8th, South Dakota All-State Chorus delegates and alternates from Freeman Public School attended a workshop at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion. Students spent the day rehearsing with singers from other area schools to prepare for the upcoming All-State event. The All-State Chorus and Orchestra performance will take place on November 1, 2025 at the Denny Sanford Premier Center in Sioux Falls. The event is open to the public.

Support Local Beef for Our School Lunches! 🍔

Join the FFA’s Local Beef Campaign! The FFA is excited to kick off a new campaign to bring locally raised beef to our school lunch program!

Did you know our school uses around 1,600 pounds of beef each year? This year, due to high market prices, beef isn’t available through federal funding—so we’re asking for a little community help to keep our lunch program delicious and local!

How You Can Help:
🐄 Donate an Animal
If you’re a local producer willing to contribute a beef animal, your donation will go directly toward feeding students in our district.
💵 Make a Monetary Donation
Every dollar helps us purchase and process local beef for school meals.

❤️ Why It Matters
Your support helps:
• Provide nutritious, local food for our students
• Support local producers and our agricultural community
• Celebrate the power of community working together

📞 Contact Information
To get involved, please reach out to the Business Office, 605-925-4216 or Malynda Penner, FFA Advisor, 605-929-7314.

Thank you for helping us make a difference — one burger, taco, and meatball at a time!

🎉🎉Congratulations to our 2025 Homecoming King Luke Peters and Queen Vaida Ammann as well as the rest of the Homecoming Court - Thor Aanenson, Tate Sorensen, Aubrey Gamble, and Samantha Fransen. #FlyerPride
