In 2009, Freeport Middle School began the "Tabs for Tolerance" campaign to promote tolerance. The goal was to collect six million tabs; one for each person killed by the Holocaust. Fast forward seven years... Last week, FMS turned in 5.7 MILLION tabs (over 3100 pounds of aluminum) to the local recycling establishment. In return, they collected $937.80 to be donated to The Ronald McDonald House! The Freeport Middle School staff and students want to thank the community for their support during their campaign to promote tolerance.
Striiiike! Butler Elementary’s pre-kindergarten and Exceptional Student Education classrooms certainly had a “ball” knocking down those pins on their field trip to Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl and Bass Pro Shops. A big thank you to all of our family chaperones as well as Bass Pro Shops and Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl for providing us with a fun-filled day!
