FREEDOM HILL PTA EAGLE NEWS
June 24, 2020           
Hope you are staying cool in this heat. A few quick updates below. Be sure to stay connected on the Freedom Hill ES Community group on Facebook! Lots of great resources and discussions in there.
SUNDAY, 3PM KG Parent Meet & Greet
Our first KG Meet & Greet is THIS Sunday, June 28th at 3pm! Spread the word to your neighbors! Come and ask questions and get to know one another. Drop in and say hello and meet some friends. Click the link for the zoom meeting: Sunday, June 28th, 3pm or call 877 853 5257 with Meeting ID: 982 0482 1911. Just to manage expectations - we are going to focus this discussion on getting to know other parents and families. If you want to talk in depth about Return to Learn, check out the meeting next Wednesday below.
FCPS RETURN TO LEARN UPDATE
Here's the latest update from Dr. Brabrand on Return to Learn for 2020-2021. There is a lot to consider. We're going to have an open Q&A discussion Wednesday, July 1st from 8-9pm for those who want to talk through details. Zoom info is here or dial in here: 301-715-8592 with meeting ID: 993 1838 2806. We certainly don't have all the answers but want to give an opportunity for people to talk to each other. Be sure to fill out your enrollment preference by July 10th. 
LAST CALL - SCHOOL SUPPLY KITS
Our Back to School Supply Kits with Sprout have been set up here. It's an easy way to get your back-to-school shopping done in minutes and never leave home - especially when supplies may be the hot ticket item in fall! The exact, teacher approved supplies for every grade are listed here. To order them through Sprout, you visit www.sproutsupplies.com (our School Code is FHES001). We did ask Sprout what happens if we have distance learning in fall. Their response was anybody can cancel their order until June 30th so keep that in mind. Some families may want the supplies regardless if there is distance learning at home. The flier is here with more details.
NEW! ART CLASSES WITH MR. A
If you are interested, our awesome art teacher Mr. A (aka Mr. Waldrip) is offering a few art classes for a modest price this summer starting the weeks of June 29th and July 6th. Sign up and get your kids artistic juices flowing! Spots are limited. Information is available for K-1, 2-3, and 4-6. Check them out! Questions? Contact Mr. A.
READING WITH MR. FENTON
Mr. Fenton, our IT specialist, is reading over the summer with the students. Listen to exciting books with stories from Sideways School, Wizards of Once, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, and many more!

Sessions will be held twice per week. (Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 11AM) One is for K-3, and another is for 4-6, where he and some special guests will read a variety of books. If your student is interested, fill out the form here to be invited into the Blackboard Collaborate session. Q's? Contact Mr. Fenton

YEARBOOK ORDERS & ARRIVAL
Yearbooks haven't arrived yet, but it is not too late to purchase one!  If you still want to purchase a yearbook, you can pay $15 via cash or check to Freedom Hill (FHES). Information will be sent out about yearbook arrival as soon as we hear from Lifetouch!
